Large Dogon scale. Circa 1930s-40s.
210cm high (mounted on steel plate base)
A superb example of an African Dogon tribal ladder/scale. This example is believed to have been made in Mali from the early to mid-twentieth century.
Traditionally the African Dogon ladder was used by the Dogon people to access the upper levels of granaries, climb onto the flat roofs of houses, and bridge clefts in cliffs.
Its repeated forms give it the aesthetic quality of a modernist sculpture.
