- Description:
- Carved wooden ladder created by the Dogon people of Mali.
Traditionally the Dogon people built villages near or in the sandstone cliffs of Mali. Hand-carved ladders like this one were used by the Dogon for access to the flat roofs of their homes. The roofs were often used for storage, extra living space, and for sleeping under the right weather conditions.
