新藏家的非洲艺术

至高无上的班巴拉入门仪式社团 Kòré 被视为知识的巅峰、行为的智慧，以及对上帝的真知。在这种入门理解的层级，亵渎与讽刺具有精神净化的价值。戴面具的人是真正的圣洁小丑。为了行使他的“祭司职分”，Kòré Duga 戴着 Kòré Suruku 面具，这面具代表一个传说中的鬣狗头部，其特征被极度夸张：额头高凸、耳朵笔直且尖尖、鼻梁又长又高、眼睛大、嘴巴张开。这些面具的不同部位分别象征 Kòré Duga 的超自然智慧、他持续的警觉、他的活力、对事物的准确洞察，以及他在知识获取领域的人所共知的贪欲，以及他话语的丰沛。面具在额头的正中有一个细长的茎部，细致浮雕的女性形象，其高度超过耳朵。耳朵内侧、雕刻痕和眼睛处留有蓝色痕迹。出处：N Gom Codov，巴黎 阿尔吉莱斯收藏，巴塞罗那

The supreme and ultimate Bambara initiation society, the Kòré is considered the pinnacle of knowledge, the intelligence of deeds, and true knowledge of God. At this level of initiatory understanding, blasphemy and satire have spiritual cathartic value. The wearer of the mask is a true sacred jester. To exercise his “priesthood,” the Kòré Duga wears the Kòré Suruku mask, which represents the head of a mythical hyena whose features are grossly exaggerated: an exaggeratedly bulging forehead, large straight and pointed ears, a very long and high nose, large eyes, and an open mouth. These different parts of the mask symbolize, respectively, the supernatural intelligence of the Kòré Duga, his constant vigilance, his vitality, his accurate vision of things, and finally his proverbial gluttony in the domain of knowledge acquisition, as well as the abundance of his speech. The mask has small vertical slits (scarifications) across the entire width of the forehead and below the eyes, and three long slits along each side, from the base of the ears to the mouth. In the center of the forehead, on a long stem, there is a delicately sculpted figure of a woman, with a height that exceeds that of the ears. There are traces of blue coloring inside the ears, the scarifications and the eyes.
