Thanks for your visit.
The raised arms gesture is intended to indicate communication between earth and heaven, particularly a prayer for rain, an essential asset in the arid environment in which the Dogon live. Sacrifices to provoke rain are made on altars called "andugo", which are dedicated to the spiritual being "nommo" which is present in all water, including rain. After bringing a sacrifice over the altar and lighting a fire, the thick smoke of which is said to attract dark rain clouds, the officer holds an iron hook called "Gobo" in his outstretched arm and brings it back over his head, making a hook gesture to the rain To draw clouds closer.
