Description from the seller

Wood
H. 41 cm / W. 39 cm

Ancient Dogon door lock from Mali. Its rich, deep patina captivates us at first glance. The form is interesting, dynamic and powerful. The lock is surmounted by an animal, the head and tail are missing. It is a beautiful sculpture that served for decades; the patina and the wear of the wood attest to it. A beautiful, authentic antique collectible piece. Circa 1930.

Provenance: - Galerie Noir d'Ivoire, Paris.
