While researching duhos from the South American mainland, we came across this nice video at the BEĨ Collection on the making of a Tukano stool. It's a fascinating process and quite beautiful. A number of the stools in their image collection are also rather remarkable, with intricate designs, animal features, and colors. Perhaps our Taino duhos were similarly vibrant and colorful when they were "new." It is interesting that high-backed stools appear less common among the various indigenous cultures in Brazil.
