Item Details
Description
A wooden ladder with forked finial, Mali, Dogon. Early 20th century.
Provenance: The Inventory and Collection from the Estate of Merton D. Simpson. "The Dogon people of Mali create ladders by carving wedges into tree trunks that fork at the top. The notches serve as footholds, while the fork at the top stabilizes the ladder. The Dogon use ladders to climb to their traditional cliff dwellings and to raised granaries." wfu.edu
