Product description

The Dogons are an ethnic group living primarily in Mali, known for their rich traditions and exceptional works of art. Dogon doors are important architectural elements, often used to close granaries and houses. They are notable not only for their practical function but also for their carved motifs, which recall religious beliefs and aspects of social life. The patterns carved on Dogon doors are complex and symbolic and tell a story: Doors can represent ancestors, protective spirits, or mythological figures. Animals such as crocodiles, snakes and lizards are also common, symbolizing fertility, protection and wisdom. Dogon doors are taken by collectors and museums around the world for their unique aesthetic and cultural significance. They are important testimonies to the art and life of the Dogon, offering valuable insight into their beliefs and traditions. As works of art, Dogon doors represent a harmonious fusion of functionality and symbolism, illustrating how everyday objects can be transformed into cultural masterpieces rich with deep meanings. Presumed age: 2nd half of the 20th century Dimensions: Height 31, width 26cm, 1kg, attached base Dogon ethnicity
