南部及中部非洲的面具与符号

一件来自中非共和国的晚19世纪/20世纪初木质Mbagani/Babindji 面具。该面具线条分明，曲面轮廓上有明显的圆润体量感。典型特征是圆形眼睛，带有窄小的“咖啡豆状”缝隙，以及白色（高岭土）涂漆。口部再度突出、带曲线，露出一组高浮雕的白漆牙齿。耳朵则以抽象的简单梯形投影呈现。

同样具有辨识度且极为罕见的是，抽象而突出的、也许呈阳具状的鼻子，竖立于面部且与额部在顶部并不相连。

外缘穿透着多组双绳孔，顶端还有两个较大的孔。

面具状况良好，表面呈深棕色包漆光泽。内部顶部是少数表面已失去的区域，估计是由于古老的木蛀虫所致。从正面或侧面看均不可见。

A late 19th/early 20th century wooden Mbagani/Babindji mask from the Central Republic of Congo. The mask is strongly carved, with marked rounded volumes across the curved body of the mask. Typical are the rounded eyes with narrow (coffee bean) slits and the use of white (kaolin) paint. The mouth, again projecting and curved, bears a set of high relief white-painted teeth. The ears are abstract plain trapezoidal projections.

Distinctive as well as very unusual is the abstract, prominent, perhaps phallic, nose which projects but does not join the forehead at the top. 

There are numerous sets of double string holes pierced through the outer edges, with two larger holes at the top.

The mask is in good condition with a dark brown patina. The top inside is the only area where the surface has been lost, probably due to the old woodworm. This cannot be seen from the front or sides.
