Coconut-grater stool, mid 20th century, 7 1/16 x 22 x 5 3/4 in. (17.94 x 55.88 x 14.61 cm) (unfolded), Wood, metal, Tanzania, 20th century, Youd be hard-pressed to identify this mysterious, almost dangerous-looking objectunless youre familiar with coconut grating along the Swahili coast of East Africa. Then its fairly straightforward: you sit on the stool and scrape the inside of an opened coconut on the protruding metal blade. The coconut shavings are collected and later pushed through a sieve to make coconut milk. The X-shape of the stool resembles a Quran stand, while the geometric designs show both Arab and Indian influences on Swahili culture.
