新藏家的非洲藝術

最高级、至高无上的班巴拉入会社团Kòré，被认为是知识的巅峰、作为之智，以及对上帝的真实认知。在这种入会层面的理解中，亵渎与讥讽具有精神上的宣泄价值。戴面具者是真正的圣洁小丑。为行使他的“圣职”，Kòré Duga戴着Kòré Suruku面具，该面具象征着传说中鬣狗的头部，其特征被极度夸张地放大：突出的前额膨隆、又大又笔直且尖的耳朵、又长又高的鼻子、大眼睛，以及张开的口。面具的各个部分分别象征：Kòré Duga 的超自然智慧、他时刻的警觉、他的活力、对事物的准确洞察，以及在知识获取领域的众所周知的贪吃，以及他话语的丰富。面具在额头全宽及眼睛下方有细小的竖向切缝（刻痕），在两侧从耳根延伸至口部各有三道长条状缝隙。额头中央，长柄上，镌刻着一位女性的精致雕像，其高度超过耳朵。耳朵内、刻痕及眼睛处有蓝色着色的痕迹。出处：N Gom Codov，巴黎 Argiles收藏，巴塞罗那

The supreme and ultimate Bambara initiation society, the Kòré is considered the pinnacle of knowledge, the intelligence of deeds, and true knowledge of God. At this level of initiatory understanding, blasphemy and satire have spiritual cathartic value. The wearer of the mask is a true sacred jester. To exercise his “priesthood,” the Kòré Duga wears the Kòré Suruku mask, which represents the head of a mythical hyena whose features are grossly exaggerated: an exaggeratedly bulging forehead, large straight and pointed ears, a very long and high nose, large eyes, and an open mouth. These different parts of the mask symbolize, respectively, the supernatural intelligence of the Kòré Duga, his constant vigilance, his vitality, his accurate vision of things, and finally his proverbial gluttony in the domain of knowledge acquisition, as well as the abundance of his speech. The mask has small vertical slits (scarifications) across the entire width of the forehead and below the eyes, and three long slits along each side, from the base of the ears to the mouth. In the center of the forehead, on a long stem, there is a delicately sculpted figure of a woman, with a height that exceeds that of the ears. There are traces of blue coloring inside the ears, the scarifications and the eyes.
