Handcrafted Wood Dogon Door (Miniature), Mali Wall Hanging, African Home Decor

This Intricate carving is from the Dogon people of central Mali. A thousand years ago, the Dogon established their villages along the Bandiagara Escarpment in order to preserve their culture and religion. They have remained close to their ancestral traditions, and are well known for their unique architecture, mask dances, and wood work.

Traditionally used as granary closures, Dogon doors protect and santify the wood stored within. They feature figures and glyphs that tell many stories, from spiritual appeals to the good life, depictions of the original human tribe, and tokens of prosperity.

This is a rare miniature version of a Dogon door, perfect to hang on your wall. Dimensions: 11x8"
