顶级非洲艺术拍卖（Montagut画廊）

公元1100年到公元1700年之间，在尼日尔河内陆三角洲，也就是今天的马里共和国境内，创作了泥质雕像。它们因与同名古城在地理上的接近而被称为Djenné-Jeno泥雕。部分雕像具备表面赘生物突起，长期让考古学家、艺术史学家、馆藏管理者等感到困惑。本研究对这些表面赘生物采用临床、诊断与流行病学的方法来阐明其可能的含义。尚未能够将这些赘生物归因于单一原因。然而，对所有证据的检验使人们得以考量若干可能性。这些包括天花、河盲病以及性病梅毒的二期等疾病。在某些雕像上，赘生物的解剖部位可能象征着有意的瘢痕化，导致瘢痕性增生（瘢痕疙瘩），这或许是一种美化形式。

Between 1100 A.D. and 1700 A.D., terracotta statues were created in the Interior Delta of the Niger River in what is now the Republic of Mali. They are known as Djenné-Jeno terracottas because of their geographic proximity to an ancient town of that name. Some of these statues possess surface excrescences that have long perplexed archaeologists, art historians, curators, and others. This study of these surface excrescences employed clinical, diagnostic, and epidemiological methodologies to elucidate their possible meanings. It has not been possible to ascribe these excrescences to a single cause. However, examination of all the evidence permitted consideration of several possibilities. These include diseases such as smallpox, onchocerciasis, and the secondary stage of venereal syphilis. On certain statues, the anatomic placement of excrescences possibly symbolizes intentional cicatrization that resulted in keloid formation which may have been a form of beautification.
