Presenting a stunning piece of African art: a beautifully carved African Granary door that is a remarkable artifact originating from the esteemed Dogon tribe of Mali and Burkina Faso. Renowned for their artistic craftsmanship, the Dogon people have created doors that are not merely functional but also serve as intricate works of art.

These storied granary doors protected the window-like openings into each family's grain storage building, allowing for a controlled dispensing of essential food supplies. With a simple sliding door lock, these doors provided both security and ease of access.

Adorned with low relief carvings, this door showcases primordial beings, ancestors, and Kanaga masks amidst scenes of daily life, each element crafted with intent to protect the entrance, making it a sacred gateway. The artistry serves as a testament to the Dogon's deep-rooted spiritual beliefs and their respect for the life-giving essence of grain storage.

Held together with iron staples, the craftsmanship is particularly exceptional, emphasizing the artistic genius of the Dogon. Our selection includes various examples, ranging from simpler older designs to the more complex, intricate versions that are popular today.
