African Door Carved Wood Dogon Mali Handmade Granary Door Storage -G1938

38.5/20.3 -CM
This is a beautifully carved Granary Door from the Dogon People of Mali. These doors protected the window-like opening into each family's grain storage building, and used a simple sliding door lock. Primordial beings, ancestors, Kanaga masks, sun lizards and scenes of life symbolically served to protect the entrance by making it sacrosanct.
