Printemps Asiatique 拍賣——非洲藝術的別樣之旅

公元1100年至1700年间，在现今马里共和国境内的尼日尔河内陆三角洲出现陶土雕像。由于其与同名古城的地理接近性，它们被称为 Djenné-Jeno 陶土雕像。部分雕像表面存在的赘生突起长期让考古学家、艺术史学家、馆长等困惑。本研究对这些表面赘生的形成进行了临床、诊断和流行病学的方法学分析，以阐明其可能的含义。尚未能够将这些赘生归因于单一原因；然而，对所有证据的综合审视使我们能考虑若干可能性。这些可能包括天花、河盲病以及性病梅毒的二期。对于某些雕像，赘生的解剖位置可能象征有意的瘢痕化，进而形成瘢痕疙瘩，这可能是一种美化形式。

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.
