$2000.00 Old Dogon Ladder
item #9Mali - Dogon These genuine, used sculptural objects are still commonly in use today by many people in the Dogon country of Mali. The longer ones are used to reach the roof of a house; the shorter ones to access thatch-topped adobe granaries. Many are also still in use among other tribal groups, including the Lobi of Ivory Coast and the Somba (or Tamberma) or Togo. We have these types as well. Those we carry are all among the most beautiful: the oldest, most used and with most patina. Some are free-standing, mounted on iron bases; some are un-mounted. | $1000.00 Old granary doors
item #200Mali - Dogon These "doors" are closer to windows. They are the openings to the adobe granaries in which the Dogon store their grain. The figures on the doors protect the grain inside from mold, insects and all other threats. Click on the photo to view 2 more doors which are priced at $900 each. |
