Dogon Figure Depicting a Hogon

He wears a cap and carries a blade, and the horse has legs that go on forever.

This figure depicting a Horgon is Dogon, from Mali, West Africa, and dates to the late 19th or early 20th century. It is bronze. Dogon bronzes are traditionally cast in lost-wax and often show riders and ancestors. A cap-wearing figure stands astride a slender horse, one arm raised with a blade and the other held low. The horse has a long, narrow head, and the surface is brown and worn, with green showing through. It is 1.5 inches wide, 4.25 deep and 4 high.

A rider who means to be noticed.
