Priced as is as two of the figures at the bottom have feet broken off.
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.
