象牙海岸西非布劳族的隐喻性弹弓
弹弓：象牙海岸西非布劳族的隐喻性弹弓；原始编号 A0800-649
一名猎人蹲伏在象牙海岸西非布劳族领地深处的一棵树后，默默潜伏着。他的目光定在低垂枝头上一只大鸟身上。缓缓地，他从颈部挂着的袋子里取出一块石头。近些年日子艰难，收成不好，猎物也稀少。像他这样的战士被迫深入丛林，寻找小型猎物。他静静地把石头塞进弹弓，动作尽量干净利落地抬起手臂瞄准。突然，他僵住了；好像有什么人或东西让他犹豫。他的眼睛瞥到弹弓把手上所雕刻的脸。多年的使用已将它的某些特征磨平，但那双眼睛仍然警惕地注视着他。它们以他无法解释的方式告诉他回头看看。当他回头时，脉搏开始加速跳动。一头巨大的野猪从灌木丛中冲出，露出獠牙，蹭擦着地面，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.
