The Dogon are famous for their doors. Whether complex or simple or abstract – they all are made out of three wooden pieces connected via iron clips.
An essential individual attribute is the lock on which many collectors concentrate separately.
In the Dogon mythology the world corresponds to a mighty granary in which every type of corn has its own box. The prime granary came via a rainbow from heaven, hit Earth and handed over its content: plants, animals and man.
This typical piece has a magnificent wooden brilliance, some signs of usage at the bottom of the frame and is altogether very decorative. |
