獨家非洲藝術拍賣（Montagut畫廊）

公元1100年至公元1700年间，陶土雕像在尼日尔河内三角洲的 interior delta 地区（现今的马里共和国境内）被创作。这些雕像因与古城 Djenné-Jeno 的地理接近而被称为 Djenné-Jeno 陶土像。部分雕像表面的婴状突起长期让考古学家、艺术史学家、馆长等感到困惑。本研究对这些表面婴状突起进行了临床、诊断和流行病学方法的研究，以阐明它们可能的意义。尚无法将这些突起归因于单一原因，但对所有证据的综合分析使人们能考虑若干可能性。这些包括如天花、河盲病（回归性病变）以及性传播梅毒的并发阶段等疾病。在某些雕像上，突起的解剖位置可能象征着故意的瘢痕化，形成瘢痂，可能是一种美化的表现形式。

Between 1100 A.D. and 1700 A.D., terracotta statues were created in the Interior Delta of the Niger River in what is now the Republic of Mali. They are known as Djenné-Jeno terracottas because of their geographic proximity to an ancient town of that name. Some of these statues possess surface excrescences that have long perplexed archaeologists, art historians, curators, and others. This study of these surface excrescences employed clinical, diagnostic, and epidemiological methodologies to elucidate their possible meanings. It has not been possible to ascribe these excrescences to a single cause. However, examination of all the evidence permitted consideration of several possibilities. These include diseases such as smallpox, onchocerciasis, and the secondary stage of venereal syphilis. On certain statues, the anatomic placement of excrescences possibly symbolizes intentional cicatrization that resulted in keloid formation which may have been a form of beautification.
