Deurslot - Bambara - Mali (Zonder Minimumprijs)
A wooden doorlock from the Bambara tribe of Mali.
Wooden door locks (ta koguru) were used on the doors of dwellings, cookhouses, sanctuaries, and on granary shutters. Each lock is given a name in accordance with its message, person, myth, or any anecdote referred to. Door locks were a prized gift for young brides, and passed down from generation to generation. Sculpted by the blacksmith of the village for the hogon (spiritual chief) and notables, door locks are one of the major elements of Bambara art. Apart from its rarity and its finely construction, this door lock is the work of a great sculptor. Good condition with a great patina of use.
Provenance: Justin Barthels, former gallery owner Maastricht (NL).

May as well be viewed and picked up at the Asian African Art Gallery in Vessem (NL).
