Beschreibung : Additional Information: ,This sculpture reflects the artistry, power, and authority of the Dogon blacksmith, as it was he who also carved the well-known wooden sculptures used by the Dogon. Iron sculpture special meaning for the Dogon for they blend symbol and a powerful aesthetic in a very abstract image. According to the Metropolitan Museum of Art's ART OF THE DOGON-SELECTIONS FROM THE LESTER WONDERMAN COLLECTION (which has an outstanding Dogon horse and rider on the cover,) Dogon figures depicting horses and riders reflect the prestige and power surrounding an animal that has been associated with royalty since horses were introduced to West Africa more than a thousand years ago. Dogon equestrian figures are most often identified as images of the HOGON, since in Dogon society horses are a luxury generally reserved for rich an powerful people. . Horses appear in Dogon mythology about the creation of the world, and the horse has been interpreted as a blacksmith who represents NOMMO, or other mythological beings. According to DOGON CLIFF DWELLERS, by Imperato (which I am selling on eBay) the horse was the first animal to leave the ark, in Dogon mythology, and symbolize chieftainship, power, and wealth.
