Description from the seller

Very beautiful Dogon grain loft decorative door, in good condition, with a beautiful finish.
African Dogon grain loft door. These doors served to close surface grain storage. The door features a relief work. In the wood you can see carved faces, in the image of the Kanaga masks, well known Dogon figures. The lock tongue is still present. The Dogons live in the region of the Bandiagara Cliffs, located to the east of the Niger River, about 150 kilometers from the town of Djenné.
