当一个 hogon，Lébé 的祭司、Dogon 的祭司-统治者去世时，铜环会戴在他的手指和臂上。这些环属于 Lébé，他与铜有特别的联系，是一种生命本质，随后被取下并交给下一任 hogon 但一位。『每位 Hogon 在其前任任职期间都曾掌握这些戒环。他与铜同受孕。他像铜……』（引自 Griaule，1965:120）。虽然文本中特别点名的金属是铜，但也许应理解为铜合金，因此该陈列中的许多，甚至可能是全部的装饰品都曾属于某位 hogon；在这样的语境下，设计与装饰中可察觉的象征意义是完全恰当的。

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.
