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.
