Tribal African Art. Original Dogon Granary Door With typical sliding lock Carving depicts typical images of sun lizards and a tortoise (or turtle), and figures with headress. These doors protected the window-like opening into each family's grain storage building, and used a simple sliding door lock. Primordial beings, ancestors, Kanaga masks, sun lizards and scenes of life symbolically served to protect the entrance by making it sacrosanct. The low reliefs are carved on several panels, held together by iron staples. The Dogon are an ethnic group indigenous to the central plateau region of Mali, in West Africa, south of the Niger bend, near the city of Bandiagara, and in Burkina Faso. The population numbers between 400,000 and 800,0001. The Dogon tribe is famous for their unique religious beliefs, wooden sculptures, mask dances, and distinctive architecture. They are believed to be of Egyptian descent and their astronomical lore goes back thousands of years to 3200 BC
