象牙海岸布劳人用的比弓弩
布劳人用的弹弓，象牙海岸，西非；原始编号 A0800-649
一名猎人静静地蹲在象牙海岸西非布劳部落领地深处的一棵树后。他的目光紧盯着停在低垂树枝上的一只大鸟。慢慢地，他伸手从项间的袋子里取出一块石子。近些年来日子并不好过，收成不佳，打猎的野味也变得稀少。像他这样的战士被迫更深入丛林，去寻找小型猎物。悄无声息地移动着，他把石子装进弹弓，动作尽可能平滑，抬起手臂，瞄准。忽然，他僵住了，仿佛被什么人或物促使他犹豫。它的眼睛在手柄上被刻出的脸庞注视着，经过多年的使用，脸上的线条已被磨平，但眼睛仍然警觉。它们以一种他说不出道理的方式，告诉他要回头看。当他回头时，心跳顿时加速。一头巨大的野猪从灌木丛里冲出，低下长槽牙，刮着地面，准备冲刺。

  	Figurative slingshot by the Baule people of the Ivory Coast
 	Slingshot by the Baule people of the Ivory Coast, West Africa; PRIMITIVE ID# A0800-649
A hunter crouched silently behind a tree in the heart of Baule tribal territory in the Ivory Coast of West Africa. His eyes were fixed on a large bird perched on a low hanging branch. Slowly, he reached into a pouch hanging from his neck and removed a stone. Times had been hard for the last few years. Harvests had been bad and there was little game to hunt.  Warriors like himself were forced to go further out into the bush in search of small game. Moving quietly he fitted the stone into his slingshot and with the smoothest of motions raised his arms and took aim. Suddenly, he froze; as if someone or something made him hesitate. His eyes caught the face carved on the handle of his slingshot. Years of use had smoothed some of its features, but the eyes were still watchful. They told him, in a way he couldn't explain, to look over his shoulder. When he did, his pulse began to race. A giant boar came through the bushes, lowered its tusks and scratched the ground, preparing to charge.
