Dogon wooden medicine box

Beautiful medicine box traditionally used to store medicinal preparations developed on the advice of ancient initiates. Remarkable for its walls sculpted with zoomorphic and anthropomorphic motifs, the Dogon medicine box is also recognizable by its original base, composed of 2 feet at the front and 1 foot behind. Most are surmounted by one or more ancestor figures. Beautiful decorative and useful ethnic object with two compartments! Object of mali, end of the 20th century.
