Hogon Dogon Mali bowl cover Dimensions: 54.5 x 23 x 25 cm Provenance: Private collection, France Private collection, France Christine Valluet Collection, France Galerie Schoffel de Fabry, France This ceremonial bowl lid from the northwestern northwest of the Bandiagara Plateau, in the region centered on Fombori and the Douenza, belongs to a rare and restricted corpus of cups surmounted by an equestrian figure, commonly referred to as the Hogon bowl. The Hogon, an eminent religious leader and a figure invested with power and authority, was rare. Intended to contain the food shared during his investiture and major ceremonies. This sacred object, of which only twenty or so exist, is intimately linked to the person of the Hogon or ôgô, the man who, in the eyes of his community, became the high priest of the Lêwe (or Lèbè), spiritual sovereign and "living ancestor" designated by his fellow men by virtue of his birthright. All that remains of this cup is the finely engraved lid, with symbolic chevron motifs relating to water, the source of the earth's fertility. "Serving agrarian cults, its nature is that of the Earth, feminine when it is fertile, masculine when, during the long weeks preceding the wintering season, it is nothing but aridity". The animated top features a tall man on horseback, his arm brandishing a vanished spear. The Djennenké, who immigrated to the Bandiagara plateau around 1475, were undoubtedly responsible for the adoption of the Moorish horse, the only horse to have acclimatized to the harsh environment of the Sudanese savannah and, above all, to have resisted trypanosomiasis. A mode of transport favoured by the Dogon, who inspired the cliff sculptors who engraved its image in all kinds of materials, at different times, in a wide variety of styles and on a wide variety of supports. The animal embodies the Nommo, son of God, sacrificed and resurrected, brought down to earth in an ark (Paudrat, J.-L., Dogon, Paris, 1994, p. 72) (aduno koro) in the company of the eight primordial ancestors of mankind. He is often depicted with his rider, the Hogon, "natural high priest of the ancestral spirits [...] in the past, his power was absolute as a great political, judicial and religious leader." (Desplagnes, L., Le Plateau Central Nigérien, Paris, 1907, p. 314). There has since been a broad consensus that this Hogon is the horseman depicted on the lid of the bowl studied here, and its exclusive user, particularly during ceremonies involving the sharing of food. The image of the horseman is associated with the power of the Hogon and his powers. The work's great classicism is matched by the singular detail of the rider raising his left arm, and the dark, oily patina that bears witness to its archaism. Numerous native repairs, notably to the back of the animal's tail, reveal the desire to preserve this sacred cup from the ravages of time, in order to pass it on to descendants. This type of bowl is not unique, but Tristan Tzara and Michel Périnet Tzara and Michel Périnet collected them. The richness of its decoration, where chevrons blend with water lines and other traditional motifs, the perfect balance of the composition and the precision of the line are sublimated by a deep, shiny, velvety patina 1Complete legend: "Container carried by a quadruped and closed by a lid carved from the same piece of wood as the mount and rider that decorate it" in Level, A. and Clouzot, H., Sculptures africaines et océaniennes. Colonies françaises et Congo belge, Paris, 1923, p. 21, pl. XIX

CONDITIONS OF SALE
Coutau-Bégarie Auction House guarantees the authenticity of attribution of property listed in
the catalogue which can be modified by saleroom notices or oral indications given at the time
of the sale, recorded in the official sale record.
The correctness of the catalogue or other description of the physical condition, size, quality,
rarity, importance, medium, provenance, exhibitions or historical relevance of any property is
a statement of opinion only.
Any illustrations in the catalogue are solely for the guidance of prospective buyers and are not
to be relied upon in terms of colour or necessarily to reveal imperfections in any lot.
Many lots are of an age or nature which precludes their being in mint condition and some
descriptions in the catalogue make reference to damage or restoration. Such information is
given for guidance only and the absence of such a reference does not imply that a lot is free
from defects not either does any reference to particular defects imply the absence of others.
It is the responsibility of prospective bidders to inspect the property before bidding to determine
its condition, size and to determine if it has been repaired or restored and to request a
condition report.
Buyers must satisfy themselves to all matters referred above by inspection or otherwise prior to
the date of the auction. They should carefully inspect items about the condition of each lot, as
this is not necessarily stated in the catalogue.
A buyer’s premium will be added to the successful bid price and is payable by the purchaser
based on a percentage of the hammer price. It is important to remember that there is 30%
TTC (buyers premium 25% + TVA 20%) on top of the hammer price.
Subject to any reserve price, the highest bidder shall be the buyer and a dispute shall be
settled by the auctioneer who may at any time at his absolute discretion and regardless of the
fall of the hammer re-open the bidding or withdraw the lot from sale.

cash, pre-approved cheque or credit card.

collected after payment has been made. Buyers cannot take possession of or remove their
purchases from the auction until the total purchase price, including applicable taxes or fees,
has been paid in full.
