11695 Dogon bronze knight figure Nommo Mali lost form
Dogon bronze knight figure.
Material: bronze, oxidized patina.
Origin: Mali.
Dimension: height 18 cm (7.08 inches), weight 870 grs.
XX century.
A knight in his mount is a redundant subject in Dogon art.
The horse is often depicted with rigid, straight and firm legs, while the knight, regardless of his position, transcends a halo or dignity.
Horses in Mali have always been associated with acts of war and related to warriors and military leaders.
These figures are associated with the Hogon, the Dogon spiritual and religious leader who belongs to the Harou clan, one of the four original Dogon lineages.
The horse is also linked to the ark, which descended from the sky in Dogon cosmogony and hung on a copper wire that carried the first ancestor who became a horse that dragged it until it found the first rains that made it look like a Floating canoe.

A knight in his mount is a redundant theme in Dogon art. The horse is often represented with rigid, straight and solid legs while the knight whatever his position is transcends a halo of nobility or dignity. Horses in Mali have always been linked to warlike deeds and are related to warriors and military leaders. These figures are linked to the Hogon, spiritual and religious leader of the Dogon, belonging to the clan of Harou, one of the four original lines of the Dogon.
The horse is also associated to the ark that, in Dogon cosmogony, descended from the sky suspended from a copper wire carrying the first ancestor who became a horse to drag it until it found the first rains that made it float like a canoe.
