布劳勒族在象牙海岸的具象弹弓
在西非象牙海岸的布劳勒族腹地，一名猎人静静蹲伏在树后。
他的目光锁定在低垂枝干上栖息的一只大鸟。缓缓地，他伸手到颈部悬挂的袋子里，取出一块石子。近几年日子很艰难，收成不佳，打猎的猎物也稀少。
像他这样的战士被迫深入灌木丛外寻找小型猎物。悄无声息地移动着，他把石子嵌入弹弓中，动作最为流畅地举臂瞄准。忽然，他僵住了；仿佛有什么人或物让他犹豫。
他的眼睛落在弹弓把手上雕刻的脸上。多年的使用已把某些特征磨平，但眼睛仍然警惕地注视着他。它们以他无法解释的方式，示意他往后看。当他回头时，心跳便加速起来。丛林中冲出一头巨大的野猪，低垂的獠牙，刮地的动作，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.
