Dogon Ladder 02

This vintage Dogon ladder comes from the Dogon people of the Ivory Coast. It is hand-carved from a single piece of indigenous wood, with carved notch details to form ladder steps. Once ready for use, the ladder would have been leant against a hut. Community members would climb the ladder to fetch grains which were stored on the hut of the roof to keep them safe from animals. 

This ladder has a beautiful shine to the wood that have developed from years of use and is a natural patina. A Dogon ladder of this quality is rare to find.
