Traveling Man Treasures is selling this vintage (c. 1950s) tribal door lock, hand-carved from wood in Mali, Africa. The piece is in good condition with appropriate signs of wear.
This is more than just a functional object; it's a powerful symbol of protection, artistry, and cultural heritage. The lock embodies the spirit of West African traditions, where everyday objects were imbued with deep meaning and exquisite craftsmanship. In traditional African societies, door locks were not merely mechanisms for security; they were also spiritual guardians, protecting homes and granaries from harm.
