Dogon Granary Door – Mali
A stunning Dogon door beautifully decorated with ancestral geometric figures. The lock consists of an abstract style head on top and rows of zig zags underneath representing the âflowing of waterâ in Dogon terminology, this continues to the door as a lighter carving and then further down in the form of a fish which the Dogon relate to the âNommoâ.The granary door lock (called ta koguru) is carved with a couple of nommo figures. These symbolize a strong magic and spiritual force. This force is then, according to beliefsâ animists of Dogon, imparted to the door lock. In the Dogon myth of the creation of the Earth, the amma god bore a being figure known as nommo (the nommo anagonno, symbolized by a fish). This nommo gave birth to four couples of nommo, considered as the eight ancestors of the mankind (unum) and the four elements.
