This small wooden stool was made in Ecuador by the Waodäni people for Valerie, Jim and Elisabeth Elliot’s daughter. Jim and Elisabeth became missionaries in the 1950s to people living in the remote regions of the Ecuadorian Amazon. After Jim’s death, Elisabeth returned as a missionary to Ecuador. This stool was kept by Elisabeth as a reminder of her time living among the tribe in the late 1950s.
