Senufo Granary Door Depicting Series of Animals and Masks

About the Item

This fine example of an early Senufo granary door from the Ivory Coast dates back to the first quarter of the twentieth century. Decorated with a series of carved animals and masks, the door depicts grazing horned animals and hornbill birds, some eating a tortoise. At the top left, a human figure is represented holding the horns of one of the masks. The original door lock is still attached, and considering its age, this door is in excellent condition. ‍Estimated Period: First Quarter of 20th Century ‍Ex Private Collection, UK
