Granary Door-Dogon People-Mali -SOLD

Price: $0.00


 


In Dogon Mythology, the world was like a granary which contained compartments for the different seeds God gave mankind. The original granary came down from heaven on a rainbow, crashing down to earth and scattering human beings, animals, and vegetables. The zig-zag pattern represents the path folowed by the Creator as he passed from East to West and North to South during the formation of the world. Grain is so precious to the Dogon that the iconography on the door is intended to protect it. 14"Hx11"W
