This is a fascinating Bamana door lock from Mali, West Africa. These locks are more than just functional items; they are also significant cultural objects. These pieces are used to secure homes, granaries, and sanctuaries, providing both physical and spiritual security. The figure on the lock is believed to offer protection from bad spirits, and features geometric forms and intricate incised marks.
Usually composed of two pieces: a fixed part attached to the door and a sliding bolt, this particular piece does not come with the sliding bolt.
