Christie's, Paris, Art Africain, Océanien et Précolombien, 07 juin 2005, n° 183

Importante collects ion privée européenne, acquis lors de cette vente

Cette échelle - utilisée par les Dogon à l'intérieur des maisons ou pour atteindre les autels parfois nichés dans la façade de la résidence du chef de lignage (cf. Ezra, 1988 : 20) - se distingue par ses proportions remarquables et par l'exceptionnelle patine d'usage, profonde et nuancée, brillante sur les parties sollicitées des sept échelons massifs taillés en encoches dans l'épaisseur du bois.
