Resumen redactado con la ayuda de la IA

Descripción del vendedor

When a hogon, who is a priest of the Lébé, and a priest-ruler of the Dogon, dies, copper rings are put on his fingers and arms. These belong to Lébé, who is particularly associated with copper, a sort of life essence, and are later taken off and given to the next hogon but one. ‘Every Hogon had had the rings in his possession while his predecessor held office. He is impregnated with copper. He is like copper…’ (quoted in Griaule, 1965 : 120).While copper is the metal specifically named, perhaps it is to be read as copper alloy, and therefore many, if not all, of the ornaments in this assemblage may have belonged to a hogon; in such a context the symbolism detectable in design and decoration is wholly appropriate.
