Surya Rutten

顶级非洲艺术拍卖（Montagut画廊）

在尼日利亚北部、与喀麦隆接壤的穆穆耶（Mumuye）人群中，除了他们众所周知的祖先面具之外，还有两种面具：一种是大型冠饰或肩部面具，称为‘Sukwava’（见目录号62），另一种是较小的头盔或头部冠饰面具，如本件，被认为是女性，称为‘grandmother’或‘old woman’。这些‘grandmother masks’在青年部族成员的仪式入会中扮演重要角色，在播种、收获、葬礼仪式以及其他重要场合也会跳舞。穆穆耶族这件现存的“祖母面具”采用非常坚硬、重量很大的木材雕刻而成，整件深栗色，随后在外部通过粉末红木涂上一层额外的红色调。

Amongst the Mumuye, who live in northern Nigeria on the border of Cameroon, there are - in addition to their well-known ancestor figures - two types of masks: a large crest or shoulder mask, known as ‘Sukwava’ (see cat. no. 62), and smaller helmet or head crest masks, such as the present one, thought to be female and known as ‘grandmother’ or ‘old woman’. These ‘grandmother masks’ play an important role in the initiation of young tribal members, and they also dance at seed-sowing time, at harvests, at funeral rituals and other important events. The present ‘grandmother mask’ of the Mumuye was carved out of very hard, heavy wood, completely coloured dark brown and afterwards, outside, provided with an additional red tone using powdered redwood.
