象牙海岸布劳尔人所作的具象弹弓
弹弓，西非象牙海岸布劳尔人所作；原始编号 A0800-649
一名猎人静静地蹲在西非象牙海岸布劳尔部落领地深处的一棵树后。他的目光紧紧盯着栖息在低垂枝头上的一只大鸟。慢慢地，他从颈部悬挂的袋子里取出一块石头。近几年生活一直很艰难。庄稼歉收，猎物稀少。像他这样的战士不得不深入丛林，去寻找小型猎物。悄无声息地移动着，他把石头嵌入弹弓中，动作尽量平滑地抬起手臂并瞄准。突然，他僵住了；仿佛有什么人或东西让他犹豫。他的眼睛捕捉到弹弓把手上雕刻的面孔。多年的使用让它的某些特征变得光滑，但那双眼睛仍然警觉。以一种他无法解释的方式，它告诉他往后看。等他照做时，心跳开始加速。一头巨大的野猪从灌木丛中踱出，降低獠牙，蹭地挠地，似乎在准备冲刺。

  	Figurative slingshot by the Baule people of the Ivory Coast
 	Slingshot by the Baule people of the Ivory Coast, West Africa; PRIMITIVE ID# A0800-649
A hunter crouched silently behind a tree in the heart of Baule tribal territory in the Ivory Coast of West Africa. His eyes were fixed on a large bird perched on a low hanging branch. Slowly, he reached into a pouch hanging from his neck and removed a stone. Times had been hard for the last few years. Harvests had been bad and there was little game to hunt.  Warriors like himself were forced to go further out into the bush in search of small game. Moving quietly he fitted the stone into his slingshot and with the smoothest of motions raised his arms and took aim. Suddenly, he froze; as if someone or something made him hesitate. His eyes caught the face carved on the handle of his slingshot. Years of use had smoothed some of its features, but the eyes were still watchful. They told him, in a way he couldn't explain, to look over his shoulder. When he did, his pulse began to race. A giant boar came through the bushes, lowered its tusks and scratched the ground, preparing to charge.
