AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Horseman and His Horse - Dogon - Mali
A mythical figure in Dogon mythology, the horseman and his horse.

In Dogon culture, the horseman is a complex symbol.

It is the symbol of material power, but also the instrument of martial adventures.

And finally, more metaphysically, he dominates the mortal and spiritual world by displaying his physical and moral strength.

Artistically, the treatment of horses often takes on a heavy, massive expression, the horse's legs usually straight and stiff.
