AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Horseman - bronze - Kotoko - Chad

Among the Kotoko of Chad, it was intended for a possession cult. According to Luc de Heusch, 'possession is one of the ways to approach the sacred through bodily techniques leading to ecstasy.' It can be interpreted as the intrusion of a spirit seeking a servant into a man or woman. A priest or diviner must intervene to help the possessed endure the daily presence of this spirit without danger.
