Superb and unique hand-carved wooden box from the Dogon tribe of Mali, featuring a double-door design traditionally used for storing medicine or tobacco leaves. This striking piece stands on three legs with a functional latch closure.
Adorned with high-relief carved details including stylized turtles on the doors—sacred symbols in Dogon mythology. A protective head sculpture crowns the top, while the back showcases intricate crocodile figures and representations of ancestor spirits, the Nommo. Each carving reflects the skilled craftsmanship of village artisans.
A remarkable collectible that embodies spiritual significance and masterful hand-carved artistry.
