重要的母性雕像 双手置于胸前 木雕,表面覆盖着厚重的古旧包浆,有轻微风化及局部表面磨损。 班瓦,喀麦隆 高 104 厘米 这位女性立于粗壮有力的双腿之上,腹部圆润,肚脐轮廓分明,暗示着她正处于怀孕状态。她的双手轻放在双乳顶端,前臂上戴满了手镯。 微张的嘴唇和半闭的双眼赋予面部一种守护般的表情,头顶上是一个锥形的发髻,发丝上刻有深浅不一的凹槽。 班瓦人居住在喀麦隆西部的高地,那里每个酋长领地都保存着被称为“莱费姆”(lefem)的肖像雕像。 这些雕像不仅代表国王,还代表王后、王太后、公主或双胞胎的母亲,构成了每个王朝的“活记忆”。 这些雕像在宫中被精心保管,仅在重大仪式上才会亮相,尤其是每年在瀑布、山顶或大树等圣地举行的纪念王室祖先的仪式。 圆润的腹部以及双手抚胸的姿态,在此处象征着生育力与血脉的延续。 综合参考文献: 皮埃尔·哈特(Pierre Harter),《喀麦隆古代艺术》,阿尔努维尔,黑非洲艺术出版社,1986年。 让-保罗·诺图埃与路易·佩罗瓦,《喀麦隆西部的国王与雕塑家:黑豹与狼蛛》,巴黎,卡尔塔拉/ORSTOM出版社,1997年。
