A true and amazing piece of modern art! This is the first thing that comes to our minds when we admire this superb Berber old granary ladder made from a single piece od argan tree trunk. These ladders  are used to reachs the highest storage cubicles in the fortified communal barns found in Agadir, the Jbel Siroua region and the Souss valley in Southern Morocco. For centuries, the nomadic Berber tribes of this region built the Agadir pl. Igudar (Berber for wall or battlement) on top of a hill, completely secluded  from the outside except for a single access and where each family or clan would have a small space denominated - bid - with a wooden door and bolt to keep their crop and other valuables safe from burglars and thieves. Once in a while they would also serve as refuges for people when the village was attacked by other rival tribes. A single family lived permanently in the Agadir as guardians while the rest carried a transhumant nomadic life. Nowadays these people have become sedentarized and have built their houses around these once isolated fortresses.

This type of fortified barns is also found in southern Tunisia and some of it served as inspiration to George Lucas in his famed Star Wars saga to recreate the planet Tatooine.

Ladders similar to these are found in the Dogon country in Mali.

Charmingly obscured by smoke from the family fire. An extremely interesting piece, authentic, rare, enormously decorative and with a most appealing and undeniable tribal character.
