Description

Dogon doors are made by the Dogon people from Mali. They are carved out of wood and serve to protect the people’s storage buildings or granaries. They almost all have a simple sliding door lock. But the fine sculptures on the door make the door holy and impregnable for intruders to come in.
Provenance: Private collection. F.d.G in NL / Tribal Art Treasures
