一个木制面具 - 保密协议 - 鲍勒 - 象牙海岸 (没有保留价)

Baule, Double Mask (Nda), Didiévi region, Côte d'Ivoire,

木材表面呈黑色与赤褐色的包漆痕迹，带有多色绘画的残留，含底座。
20世纪上半叶。

这件罕见的双面 nda 面具属于科特迪瓦中部 Baule 的雕塑传统。由两张相邻的面孔组成，体现了二元性的概念，这一主题在 Baule 的思想与艺术表达中根深蒂固。略微错开的头部使构图充满动感又和谐，每一张脸都展现出精细的梳发刻画和 Baule 审美特征的理想化面部特征：半合眼、笔直的长鼻、细致呈现的疤痕纹以及微微上扬的嘴角。

表面保留着古老的黑色仪式包漆，同时带有红色与棕色颜料的残留。周边的穿孔曾用来固定在演出时所穿的藤条或纤维服饰。梳发、鼻子、嘴唇以及其他突出部位的明显磨损，证明其在仪式性使用中的长久接触与反复搬动。

nda 面具属于 Baule Mblo 假面舞的传统，曾在公开仪式中表演，以 honor 受人尊敬的个人、纪念社区中的杰出成员、以及赞颂美、尊严与社会和谐的理念。双面之作尤为罕见，通常被解读为强调平衡、互补以及雕塑家的创造性技艺，而非表示一个独立的面具类别。作为演出对象，nda 面具在娱乐的同时也强化了社会凝聚力、威望以及被描绘人物所体现的道德价值。

以精雕细琢的纹理、两张面孔之间微妙的对话以及历经岁月的厚重表面而著称，这一例证代表了 Didiévi 地区 Baule 雕塑传统中的卓越表达。
