等级面具 心形脸部 轻质木材,含高岭土残留物,带有古旧包浆,可见使用痕迹与岁月痕迹,有少量轻微缺损。 莱加,刚果民主共和国。 27.5 × 16.5 厘米 在莱加族中,社会、道德和艺术生活都围绕着“布瓦米”(bwami)展开,这是一个分为五个等级的入门组织,其中最高等级的“亚纳尼奥”(yananio)和“金迪”(kindi)持有最尊贵的物品。 每次晋升都会举行持续数天的仪式,通过谚语、歌谣和器物向受训者传授道德教诲。 用高岭土漂白的木制面具是其中的重要象征:这些面具很少戴在脸上,而是在仪式期间被手持、系在手臂上或排列在栅栏上,象征着该族群的祖先。 这副面具以其简练的造型而独树一帜。面部中央刻有一圈点状纹饰,仅能辨认出一条细长且末端呈箭头的鼻子。将面部简化为几个基本符号,赋予了这副面具一种引人注目的现代感。 综合参考文献: 丹尼尔·P·比布伊克(Daniel P.
