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.
