Small bronze alloy sculpture made of lost wax cast in the form of an equestrian figure with horse and rider, used as a therapeutic talisman by the Kotoko against madness and possession.
Also called "knights against madness", they were entrusted to the sick person who always carried them with him, every day and for as long as necessary, usually kept in a leather wrapper.
Many theories and legends accompany the story of these small and wonderful sculptures usually collected for their high aesthetic value. To get an idea or to deepen this fascinating topic you can consult the over 500 pages of the book "Puchu Guinadji - Knights against madness" of 2011 written by Pierluigi Peroni drawing from his vast culture and immense collection.
