This Dogon house post, with its distinctive forked top and evocative carvings, speaks volumes about the Dogon people's deep connection to their environment and spiritual beliefs. Hand-hewn from a single piece of wood, it likely dates back to the late 19th century, a time when such posts served as both structural supports and symbolic protectors of Dogon homes. The carved breasts, a recurring motif in Dogon art, represent fertility and abundance, invoking the life-giving forces of the earth and ensuring the well-being of the household. Imagine this antique African artifact standing tall in your home, a testament to the Dogon people's artistry and reverence for the natural world. Its weathered patina and powerful presence add a touch of African mystique to any space, serving as a conversation starter and a reminder of the enduring connection between humans and their surroundings. *Era: Antique *Material: Wood/Iron *Size: 25.5"(L) x 16“(D) x 103"(H) *Color: Brown *Condition: Wear consistent with age & use, blemishes and imperfections will be present.
