賣家描述
Ashanti 女娃偶像雕塑,Akwaba,
加纳大花岗,Cape Coast地区,Tamale村
深红褐色铜绿光泽,
这尊以 akuaba 风格人为象征的偶像,被归于加纳的 Ashanti (Asante) 社群,呈现一位女性形象,使用红褐色木料雕刻,表面光亮。头部与身体的比例极不成比例,呈扁平圆盘状,额部高耸,额部呈延长的菱形,并以一系列锐角刻痕交错。两条弧形拱梁沿着直鼻轴线相汇,配以细小的突出的眼睛和不明显的切开口。头部背面带有几何图案,按带状排列,结合菱形、格子和弯曲纹样,左右对称。颈部狭窄,将头部与圆柱状躯干连接,躯干上可见两颗小胸部与隆起的肚脐,显示身体特征。手臂水平伸展,手部未作详细刻画,躯干末端扩张成基座状,没有明确的双腿。项上、腰部和臂部饰以白色和多色珠子,形成项链、腰带及环形珠串,既系于臂上,也点缀于头部边缘。在有完整记载的Ashanti 风俗中,这些人物像可如婴儿般被佩戴、照料,以象征母亲的渴望。宽宽的额部反映出美与智慧的理想,在母系社会中,母性确保族谱的延续。
“Disk-headed akuaba figures remain one of the most recognizable forms in African art. Akua ba are used in a variety of contexts; primarily, however, they are consecrated by priests and carried by women who hope to conceive a child. The flat, disklike head is a strongly exaggerated convention of the Akan ideal of beauty: a high, oval forehead, slightly flattened in actual practice by gentle modeling of an infant's soft cranial bones. The flattened shape of the sculpture also serves a practical purpose, since women carry the figures against their backs wrapped in their skirt, evoking the manner that infants are carried. The rings on the figure's neck are a standard convention for rolls of fat, a sign of beauty, health, and prosperity in Akan culture. The delicate mouth of the figure is small and set low on the face. The small scars just discernible below the eyes of this figure refer to a local medical practice as protection against convulsions. Most akua ba have abstracted horizontal arms and a cylindrical torso with simple indications of the breasts and navel; the torso ends in a base as opposed to human legs. The style of this sculpture is rare among other extant examples of akua ba due to its miniaturized naturalistic body, arms, and legs. Full-bodied figures such as this are believed to be a recent twentieth-century innovation within the akuaba sculptural tradition...” 来源:大都会艺术博物馆,纽约。
