Dogon doors are made of wood and are richly carved with geometric motifs, representations of animals, and other symbols that have deep cultural and spiritual significance for the Dogons. These motifs can represent elements of their cosmology, ancestors, or myths important to their culture.

They occupy the region known as the Dogon Country, which stretches from the Bandiagara Cliffs to the southwest of the Niger Bend. Other Dogons are settled in northern Burkina Faso and in Côte d’Ivoire.
