Traditionally used as granary closures, Dogon Doors feature glyphs that tell many stories, from spiritual appeals to the good life, depictions of the original human tribe and tokens of prosperity.
The carvings represent 7 mythological ancestors, 2 Kanaga masks and two breasts.
The ancestors represent the origins of the Dogon families, the Kanaga masks are the symbols of harmony and balance between heaven and earth, and the breasts represent fertility. All these symbols on the door were intended to protect the granaries and ensure good harvests and harvests while respecting the universal order.
Therefore, the barn door is a very representative element of Dogon culture, mostly based on millet agriculture, and is an equally important part of African culture

In good original condition with small signs of use and ware and lovely antic patina less
