Traditional Burkina Faso Door Lock
This simple, traditional Burkina Faso door lock features a beautifully weathered patina and abstract sculptural form. Used as a door latch on the entrances of shrines, homes, or granaries, this lock exemplifies a utilitarian custom once ubiquitous across West Africa. Today, with contemporary metal hardware, these wooden locks are a rare find. Metal locking pins still in place.
