Das ist der Preis für die folgende Bewertung: Bamana Door Lock Wood Mali , 20th century

Beschreibung : Additional Information: A wooden door lock attributed to the Bamana. This example shows much handling and good age.  ,Lock still fits together.  , Bamana door locks are composed of two parts: one is a fixed vertical element which is most often carved with abstract, , human or animal form fixed to the door with iron staples. The second part of the door lock is a horizontal wooden piece that slides through the vertical piece where iron teeth would fall into small holes locking the door. The doors had pointed corners that served as hinges and a sculpted wooden lock to keep it closed. A small key would lift the iron pegs to open the door. , The sliding locking bar passed just behind the vertical part. The face on this door lock is carved in a Bamana style and recalls Bamana figures identified as representations of an ancestor, which presence is required to ensure protection and prevent the intrusion of bad spirits and sorcerers.
