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