拍品描述 翻译
Elaborate Kuba Wine Vessels were items of prestige used in ceremony and ritual for drinking Palm Wine. This exquisite Kuba Cup has a wonderfully patinated surface, suggesting years of use and display. One of the most public forms of display by Kuba men, was the use of decorated wooden cups for drinking palm wine. Palm wine, known to the Kuba as maan, is the principal beverage of choice in most of the Central African region. It is tapped twice a day (early morning and again late afternoon) from the raffia palm trees that are cultivated especially for this purpose. It is a sweet but tart liquid. The carved palm-wine drinking cups and ornately carved boxes are identified with competition between titled court members among the Kuba. With half of all Bushoong men holding titles in the 1880s, competition for influence was sometimes fierce, and it found expression in the elaboration of these essentially commonplace household objects into works of extraordinary beauty. The Kuba are known for their raffia embroidered textiles, fiber and beaded hats, carved palm wine cups and cosmetic boxes, but they are most famous for their monumental helmet masks, featuring exquisite geometric patterns, stunning fabrics, seeds, beads and shells. They have been described as a people who cannot bear to leave a surface without ornament. On special occasions such as Kuba funeral ceremonies and masquerade performances, several calabaskets of palm wine may be reserved for the friends and family of the deceased to consume. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, a wide variety of containers in the form of goblets, beakers and cups, with and without handles, were created. Some of them display symbols associated with high-ranking titled positions, intentional and often humorous exaggeration of the human form, or playful skeuomorphos of objects such as decorated baskets, ceramic vessels, or drums. What more public form of display for a successful Kuba man than to decline the plain gourd cup offered by a palm wine tapper and instead present his personal cup in the form of a human head or figure or a cup whose entire surface is covered with elaborate surface pattern such as this one.
