当一位 hogon，即 Lébé 的祭司、Dogon 的祭司统治者去世时，会在他的手指和臂上套上铜戒指。这些戒指属于 Lébé，他与铜有特殊关联，铜被视为一种生命本质，随后取下并交给下一位 hogon 但一位。‘每位 Hogon 都在其前任任职期间掌握着戒指。他被铜所浸透。他像铜一样…’（引自 Griaule, 1965 : 120）。尽管明确点名的是铜金属，或许应理解为铜合金，因此这组饰品中的许多，若不是全部，可能都属于某位 hogon；在这种语境下，设计与装饰所隐含的象征意义是完全合适的。

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.
