Dogon Granary Door - 1.3 Graffiti or as extra occasional seating

or as extra occasional seating — a functional piece that doubles as a work of art

using nets made from a local doum palm fibre and simple log canoes

each is worn smooth with use and quietly marked by its owner's journey

warm tones of the solid wood add a natural and timeless appeal to the piece

Dogon Granary Door - 1.3 Graffiti or as extra occasional seatingDogon 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. Size: H 51cm W 29cm D 15cm Base Depth: 11. 5cm
