About the Item
Symbolically, miniature ladders like the Dogon ladder can hold various meanings depending on the context in which they are used and their cultural or historical background. For example, a miniature ladder can be a metaphor for ambition and personal growth, representing the desire to reach new heights or overcome obstacles. In spiritual contexts, a ladder can symbolize a path to wisdom or enlightenment, reflecting a personal quest to achieve higher consciousness or insight.
The interpretation of its design is multifaceted and may reflect a combination of traditional, cultural, and personal values. It serves as a beautiful symbol for those seeking inner guidance, a personal altar of sorts.
The shape and beauty of the ladder is reminiscent of a sculpture created by Brancusi.
This ladder comes from a now-closed Swedish antique shop that specialized in Africana during the late 1990s.
