An exquisite and rare bronze horseman figure from the Dogon people of Mali crafted with the traditional technique of the cire perdue (lost wax). These unique equestrian figures express status, prestige and power. They would bring honour to the ancestors, the current leadership and the owner of the sculpture. Although rare, horsemen as icon have existed for 1000 years in Mali. Some depict a hogon, the supreme officeholder, a semi-divine leader of great wisdom, or even a mythological emissary from a distant land.
