Handcrafted Wooden Dogon Ladder, Mali, 20th Century

About the Item

A classic Dogon ladder made of dark wood and mounted on a sturdy metal stand. The Dogon people live in southeastern Mali and Burkina Faso. Despite being surrounded by Muslims, they remained loyal to their ancestral religion and maintain their traditions. The ladders are usually carved out of one piece, which makes them highly residence. The 'Y' top is necessary so that the climber may safely lean the ladder against a tree or wall without the ladder rolling. Base size: 30x 30 cm
