Title
Italiano: Mali. Porta Dogon
Description
Italiano: PORTA DI GRANAIO a due pannelli rettangolari, uniti da graffe di ferro. Sulla superficie dei pannelli sono intagliate figure antropomorfe di cui quattro portano una maschera kanaga. La stessa maschera è rappresentata sull'altro pannello accanto alla serratura.

Le porticine dei granai sono frequentemente intagliate a motivi geometrici e figurativi antropomorfi e zoomorfi (lucertole, uccelli). La figura o coppia di figure che spesso compare sulla serratura è quella dei fondatori del lignaggio, mentre le altre sono coppie di gemelli, simbolo di fertilità.

La maschera kanaga con il suo motivo cruciforme rappresenta il mondo così come Dio lo ha creato: l'elemento verticale costituisce l'asse che collega la terra al cielo (rappresentati dai due bracci orizzontali).
