Among the Asante, an elaborate stool like this serves multiple purposes and provides a well-designed seat to sit upon. Asante stools take their name "Dwa" from the wood they are carved from. Often, stools will be seen with their upper corners worn from being leaned against the wall or laid down on their sides, all to prevent someone else from sitting on it, or worse a malevolent spirit could take charge of the stool and the owner's spirit. Stools are also identified with the various royal states as each state has its own design. Stools often have proverbs, sayings, or historical events identified with them. Stools start out as white wood and over time take on a burnished and well-worn finish. It must be noted that Akan stools are carved from a single piece of wood, reflecting the skill and talent of the stool carvers, and not nailed together as European chairs are.
