南部及中部非洲的面具與符號

这件霍洛面具是对水牛头部的非凡简化。水牛被认为具备超自然力量，因为它们能够随意隐现再现。在狩猎传说中，据说这种动物会回到被伤害的地方，但会绕道而行；随后它潜伏并从背后突然袭击猎人。在这方面，水牛类似于巫师。根据 J. Cornet 的说法，“在霍洛面具中是这一流派最杰出的杰作，尤以一种在雅卡族也存在的类型为主：描绘动物头部的面具，尤其是水牛和羚羊头部的面具”。这些面具主要用于在 Kwango-Kwilu 区域割礼之后的舞蹈。霍洛艺术鲜为人知，最近才被发现，但质量很高。出处：Medicus Mundi missionaires

This Holo mask is an extraordinary simplification of a buffalo’s head. Buffaloes are believed
to possess supernatural powers due to their ability to vanish and reappear at will. In
hunting tales, it is said that the animal returns to the spot where it was wounded, but takes a
detour; it then hides and surprises the hunter from behind. In this respect, the buffalo resembles the sorcerer.
According to J. Cornet, ‘among the Holo masks are the most eminent masterpieces of the
genre, particularly a type of mask also found among the Yaka: those depicting the heads
of animals, particularly buffalo and antelope’. These masks are used, essentially, for
the dances that follow circumcision, in the Kwango-Kwilu region. Holo art is little
known, having been discovered relatively recently, yet it is of a high quality.
