Mini Dogon Ladder 01 This beautiful photograph was taken

This beautiful photograph was taken at Vumbura Plains

The bangle was used as a form of currency used in wedding dowry

or have even seen one

They are traditionally worn during dances at ceremonies and are thought to frighten and chase away those with evil intentions

We love its simplistic but statement shape and beautiful patina of the wood from years of use

Mini Dogon Ladder 01 This beautiful photograph was takenThis old object was sourced at an auction of rare collectors items being sold by private sellers. This collection of rare miniature versions of Dogon ladders are from the Ivory Coast. Each one is hand carved from a single piece of indigenous wood, with carved notch details to form ladder steps. The larger forms would be used to climb to fetch grains which were stored on the hut of the roof to keep them safe from animals. Stand is included. Please note
