红砂岩凯尔特人头像 英格兰德比郡,约公元前第一千年后期或更晚 雕刻于红砂岩上,呈现抽象且不对称的面部特征,拥有杏仁状双眼和雕刻出的瞳孔、圆钝的鼻子以及灿烂的笑容 高16厘米 来源: 约1950年代初期之前,在德比郡格洛索普进行田野调查时出土,后由当地地主收藏; 随后于1950年代初期左右被格洛索普地区的一位当地律师购得,此后由其后代传承; 英国私人收藏,2004年于上述收藏家的遗产拍卖会上购得。 “那些神像,面容阴森粗犷,实为由砍伐下来的树干凿成的粗糙石块。仅凭其悠久的历史和腐朽木材那令人毛骨悚然的色泽,便足以令人心生恐惧。人们从不前往那里近距离膜拜,而是将此地留给诸神。” 卢坎,《法萨利亚》,公元1世纪末。 石制供奉人头或许是英国、爱尔兰及欧洲大陆铁器时代民族(常被称为“凯尔特人”)所创作的所有艺术品中最令人费解的。 这些石雕头像常出土于水域附近,其功能尚不明确,有观点认为它们在猎首社会中被用作替代品,也有人认为它们是崇拜的焦点,或是备受尊崇的治愈圣物。 无论是石雕还是金属雕刻,头部图案的普遍存在表明,古代不列颠人对其怀有特殊的敬畏之情,很可能认为它是灵魂的中心。 本品在制作上尤为简略且抽象,其简化的五官和克制的人脸处理手法,是本土石雕中较早且风格化传统的一大特征。大英博物馆内可见类似藏品(藏品编号 2013,8017.149 和 2013,8017.150)。该作品由红色砂岩雕刻而成,这种材料在英格兰北部,尤其是哈德良长城周边地区的本土雕塑传统中十分常见。
