| This visually striking door has all the hall marks of what an authentic divination door should look like. It is carved from one piece of wood. The outer edges are trimmed in bamboo, attached with stripped bark to bind the pieces together. The fiber ropes used for hinges are fairly new and the two holes at the top of the door do have some age, but what their function was, I do not know. These holes have been used to pass some loops though for display. A wall mount will be made upon purchase, so the loops will not be removed when purchased. The rainbow serpent over the divination figure with two divination bowls shows clearly. The zoomorphic animal and two small heads at the feet of the figure put the finishing touched on this incredibly hard to find item. Age, middle 1850's is a close estimate. This door has been repaired over time and below are all the native repairs. Dimension: Stands 48" High 24 3/4" Wide and 3" Deep | ||
