Description from the seller

Mythical figure in Dogon mythology: the pair formed by a rider and his horse. In Dogon culture, the rider is a complex symbol. He is a symbol of material power, but he is also the instrument of war adventures. And finally, in a more metaphysical sense, he dominates the mortal and physical realms by displaying his physical and moral strength.
