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