一件木雕作品 - 鲍勒 - 象牙海岸 (没有保留价)

一尊来自科特迪瓦的包雷（Baule）女像，位于达乌克罗地区收藏，坐落在阿汉提（Ahanti）凳上，双臂贴于身体，手触及腹部，整身覆盖着刀刻纹饰，饰以整排细小多彩珍珠，特别显眼的是木凳上的放置姿态；表面带有黑亮光泽的包浆，产地为 Bakari Bouaflé, Abidjan。

科特迪瓦包雷人像的刀刻纹饰具有多重相互关联的功能，集合了美学、社会与符号意义。纹饰常体现美的理想、社会地位或群体身份，即使像并非刻画某个特定个人，人物也被文化地视为“完整”。
在仪式层面，刀刻纹记号提升了像的灵性效力。用于祖先崇拜或保护性场合的像身上带有这些纹饰，象征道德正直、社会秩序与文化价值，将物质对象与伦理及宇宙原则联系起来。
在美学层面，刀刻纹为表面创造节奏与质感，强调人物轮廓，并符合包雷对平衡、清晰与受控形式的偏好。由此，这些纹饰同时起着身份标记、仪式力量载体和视觉和谐元素的作用，使像在社会层面具有意义，在精神上具有效力，并在视觉上引人注目。
