    Dogon Granary Door - 38.2

    £425.00
    BB Club Price: £382.50

    Dogon granary doors come from the Dogon people of the Bandiagara Escarpment in Mali. Each door protected the small, window-like opening into a family's grain store, secured with a simple sliding lock. The carved figures — primordial beings, ancestors, Kanaga masks, sun lizards and scenes of daily life — served to protect the entrance and make it sacrosanct.

    Size: approx. 57cm H × 34cm W × 12cm D.
