[QUOTE="Potteryplease, post: 3663325, member: 16407"]It seems to say: "Granary shutter Dogon, Mali Small shutter carved in bas relief portrays "nomma" (?) or ancestral figures in vertical rows. These shutters, used on the granaries in this agricultural tribe, both protect the crop and promote fertility." For whatever it's worth, the style of those sentences does 'sound' to me like something someone looking to market a product would write. Nonetheless, I think the door is amazing and looks like it's in great condition.[/QUOTE]
