Door c. early 20th century

This Yoruba "Door" from the early 20th century is a remarkable example of African woodcarving. Its surface is intricately carved with a repeating pattern of stylized human figures, likely representing ancestors or deities, and geometric motifs. The door's rich brown patina and the depth of the carving give it a sense of age and gravitas. The piece showcases the Yoruba's mastery of woodcarving and their deep connection to their spiritual beliefs.
