顶级非洲艺术拍卖（Montagut画廊）

在刚果民主共和国的森林中，艺术品主要为半秘密的男女协会所创作，如莱加族的Bwami社团。Bwami的教义渗透到生活的各个方面，指引个人的道德发展并规范与他人的关系。Bwami的教义通过木雕和象牙面具、头部雕像以及小雕像来表现，这些在进入社团最高阶级的仪式中发挥着关键作用。尽管造型简单，这些雕刻物象征着复杂且多重的含义，通过格言、滑稽剧和舞蹈来阐述。对莱加人来说，外在美与道德卓越是不可分割的。这些雕塑表面的光滑抛光表面暗示了Bwami入会者的精炼与完美本质。来源：旧美国收藏

In the forests of the Democratic Republic of the Congo art is created primarily for semisecret associations of men and women, such as the Bwami society of the Lega peoples. The teachings of Bwami permeate all aspects of life, guiding the moral development of the individual and governing relations with others. Bwami doctrine is represented by wood and ivory masks, heads, and small figures, all of which play a vital role during initiation into the society's highest grades. Although simple in form, these carved objects embody complex and multiple meanings, elaborated through proverbs, skits, and dances. For the Lega, physical beauty and moral excellence are inseparable. The smooth polished surfaces of these sculptures allude to the refined and perfected nature of the Bwami initiate.
