Printemps Asiatique拍卖 - 非洲艺术的别样之旅

公元1100年至公元1700年间，尼日河内三角洲的陶土雕像出现在现今马里共和国境内。它们因与该地区一座古城同名而被称为 Djenné-Jeno 陶土像。部分雕像表面存在的赘生物长期令考古学家、艺术史学家、馆藏管理员等人困惑。本研究对这些表面赘生物采用临床、诊断与流行病学方法来阐明其可能含义。尚无法将这些赘生物归因于单一原因。然而，综合所有证据后，研究者得以探讨若干可能性，其中包括天花、河盲病和性病梅毒的第二阶段等疾病。在某些雕像上，这些赘生物在解剖位置上的分布，可能象征有意的瘢痕化，形成瘢痕增生（瘢痕结节化），这也可能是一种美化形式。

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.
