York's Shona Gallery presents "Dogon Door." This one of a kind piece is entirely hand carved from the Dogon peoples in Mali, West Africa. It is light weight and easily installed onto any wall in your home or office--unquestionably a conversation-starter for lovers of art and history alike.
Decorative carved wood panels from Mali are embellished with both abstract and figurative designs. Most panels depict a narrative of a village scene, per the bottom of this piece. Africans are sensitive to beauty and often associate it with prestige. This decorative door can also be interpreted with a specific ceremonial context. The motifs it contains also illustrate symbolism that would evoke a myth or parable.
This unique piece was hand made by the Dogon peoples in Mali. No factories or machinery was involved in the production process, only artisans and hand tools with painstaking detail and precision. This piece is made out of natural materials and is free from any fillers, dyes, stains, or varnishes. There is ONLY ONE piece in existence--truly one of a kind.
