Dogon Granary Door - 39.1

Dogon granary doors originate from the Dogon people of the Bandiagara Escarpment region of Mali. These doors protected the window-like opening into each family's grain storage building, and used a simple sliding door lock. Primordial beings, ancestors, Kanaga masks, sun lizards and scenes of life symbolically served to protect the entrance by making it sacrosanct.
