EKELE is the name given to the Ngombe chief chair. Ngombe is a Bantu ethnic group in the democratic republic of Congo. This chair directly draws its inspiration from the EKELE chief’s chair. This seat is carved from a single piece of wood, with the nails outlining certain designs. The
notched elements in the rear are decorative. Some examples of this kind of seat still have
metal rings. This chair is seen as a symbol of the owners political, social, and religious status.
EKELE chair is a representation of social status.
