Item Details

Description

West Africa, Mali, Bamana/Malinke peoples, ca. early to mid-20th century CE. A hand-carved wooden door lock exhibiting a spade-shaped body, a conical "head," and a rectangular lock slide with a conical handle. Atop the lock slide are 3 vertical perforations intended to catch the metal lock pin held within the body's interior cavity. The front of the body is decorated with densely incised lattice-pattern motifs that create a personalized presentation. The pointed element at the bottom of the body is suggestive of a phallus and indicates this figure's gender as a male. Size: 16.25" W x 18.5" H (41.3 cm x 47 cm); 19.8" H (50.3 cm) on included custom stand.

Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-Marianne Spiegel estate, Park Avenue, New York, USA, acquired in the 1980s

Condition

Repair to lower body, with iron pins holding the pieces together. Abrasions, nicks, and softening to body and lock slide commensurate with age and use, with softening to incised motifs on front of body, and light earthen deposits throughout. Metal pin still secures lock slide as intended, but we do not recommend using this lock for its intended purpose due to age and fragility.
