Stone Town

No. 4 of 20 · free · 300 dpi

What you seeA tall Zanzibar door in dark wood with a carved arched head, chain-carved frame and a grid of brass bosses, between low stone benches.

What it meansThe doors of Stone Town mix Arab, Indian and Swahili craft; the round-headed type with brass bosses is usually traced to Indian influence, and the stone benches, or baraza, are where neighbours sit and talk.

Where it worksStrong enough to anchor a hallway or a long wall.
