Mini Dogon Ladder 03 Their traditional use was asThis old object was sourced at an auction of rare collectors items being sold by private sellers. This collection of rare miniature versions of Dogon ladders are from the Ivory Coast. Each one is hand carved from a single piece of indigenous wood, with carved notch details to form ladder steps.
