Description
This an antique Dogon granary door from Mali. The outer, decorated side is convex to fit the round nature of the granary itself. And the other side is concave. It has darkened with age and now has a great patina. The front is deeply carved in relief with the usual angular Dogon figures, the women with breasts and the men with rectangular chests. There are carvings of masks, critters and two dancers wearing masks and headdresses. One of the dancers has nearly eroded away. This is old but I do not know its exact age. I've owned for about 33 years. Now, it's a beautiful work of art, about 22" x 16".I am happy to combine shipping. Any shipping over payment will be refunded. Shipping to the USA only. No returns accepted.
