Dogon door (N° 20717) Deposit sale

French African art collection.
The closing systems of the Sudanese regions in tribal art.
The door consists of two boards assembled by staples. Anthropomorphic figures, schematized, as well as symbolic decorative motifs, appeal to the rich Dogon cosmogony. Figures can symbolize previous generations, mythical ancestors, owners of the attic also appear frequently.
Beautiful alternation of geometric volumes for this old Dogon door of unusual size. Thick black patina, locally chipped.
According to Dogon mythology, Le Nommo founded the eight lineages of Dogon and instilled weaving, blacksmithing, and agriculture in their human descendants. The patterns present on the doors in Mali, apart from their decorative value, are intended to dissuade the intruder, whether human or animal, from entering. The locks and the doors are cut in wood chosen according to the function of the building in which they will be used, because to each plant are allotted particular virtues.
