wooden door - Dogon - Mali (No reserve price)

Wooden Door of the Dogon in Mali This wooden door is associated with the Dogon, a people living mainly in the cliff area of Bandiagara, in Mali. In Dogon traditional architecture, wooden doors occupy an important place and can be adorned with carved motifs representing human or animal figures or signs linked to the Dogon symbolic universe. Their decoration testifies to the importance given to the transmission of stories, beliefs, and knowledge within the community. Carved in wood, this door combines functionality and artistic expression. The motifs and reliefs that compose it bear witness to the craftsmanship of Dogon artisans and give the piece a strong decorative presence. This contemporary creation is part of the continuity of Dogon sculptural traditions and constitutes a particularly interesting piece for a collection devoted to Mali’s art and heritage.
