卖家的描述
Ashanti 娜娃,加纳坎萨地区。
这件木雕是来自阿散蒂(Asante)文化的著名 Akua'ba(或 Akuaba)生育娃娃。这件高度风格化的仪式物体现了社区对美丽与生育的理想。标志性的圆盘形头部像一个大而扁平的圆盘;头部由一个大而完美的圆形、压扁的圆盘来表现——在阿散蒂人中,这是美的终极象征。额头故意非常高且突出。风格化的面部特征包括眉毛形成一条连续的抬高线,在中心向内弯曲,形成一个长而笔直、极纤细的鼻子。眼睛被描绘成半闭的杏仁形。嘴巴则非常小,位于圆盘的最底部。颅盘的上部和后部用细致的几何切线装饰得丰富多彩。可以辨认出网格状的编带纹样和平行阴线,代表整齐的发型。头部安放在带有一系列褶皱或定期水平圈的圆柱形颈部上。In Ashanti 文化中,环颈是健康、繁荣与身体美的标志。躯干极为简化。手臂缩减为两根圆锥形、水平的附属物,从身体两侧水平伸出,没有精细的手或指头。身体形成一个光滑的圆柱形躯干。胸部有两个小而不显眼的圆锥形乳房,肚脐以一个小的凸起圆形在浮雕中表现。在肚脐正上方,半圆形的浮雕带刻有小矩形,增加装饰细节。雕像没有腿。下半部身体逐渐张宽,形成一个平坦、粗大的圆柱形底座,以确保物体的平衡与垂直稳定性。整件作品由一块深色单木块雕刻而成,因使用而呈现非常黑色的包浆。表面在某些部位呈现缎面的光泽,因把玩而出现少量小碎片和橙棕色的磨损区域,露出下层木材的本色(尤其在底座和圆盘顶端)。
“Disk-headed akuaba figures remain one of the most recognizable forms in African art. Akua ba are used in a variety of contexts; primarily, however, they are consecrated by priests and carried by women who hope to conceive a child. The flat, disklike head is a strongly exaggerated convention of the Akan ideal of beauty: a high, oval forehead, slightly flattened in actual practice by gentle modeling of an infant's soft cranial bones. The flattened shape of the sculpture also serves a practical purpose, since women carry the figures against their backs wrapped in their skirt, evoking the manner that infants are carried. The rings on the figure's neck are a standard convention for rolls of fat, a sign of beauty, health, and prosperity in Akan culture. The delicate mouth of the figure is small and set low on the face. The small scars just discernible below the eyes of this figure refer to a local medical practice as protection against convulsions. Most akua ba have abstracted horizontal arms and a cylindrical torso with simple indications of the breasts and navel; the torso ends in a base as opposed to human legs. The style of this sculpture is rare among other extant examples of akua ba due to its miniaturized naturalistic body, arms, and legs. Full-bodied figures such as this are believed to be a recent twentieth-century innovation within the akua ba sculptural tradition...etc, etc" Source MET Museum, NY
