内容简介：

库尤人是居住在刚果-布拉柴维尔北部的一个民族，位于赤道非洲刚果河沿岸，受穆斯林和西方殖民主义的影响微乎其微。库尤艺术可以大致分为三种风格，前两种与库尤族群密切相关，而第三种风格的雕塑成分最多，包括Kuyu和Mbochi作品，其中有许多小雕像，顶部有人头的被称为 Kebe-Kebe，同名舞蹈为库尤宇宙起源提供物理表达。

• A wide range of authentic objects belonging to Equatorial African culture

• Part of the Visions of Africa series

The Kuyu are an ethnic group who live in northern Congo-Brazzaville, on the banks of the River Congo, in a part of Equatorial Africa that has remained only marginally influenced by Moslem encroachment and Western colonialism. Kuyu art can be broadly broken down into three styles, the first two — of which there are the fewest examples — are strictly associated with the Kuyu ethnic group, while the third style, which has the largest sculptural component, includes both Kuyu and Mbochi pieces. Among these are a number of statuettes and especially wooden clubs topped with a human head (the most recent being polychrome), known as Kebe-Kebe, which were used in the dance by the same name. This ritual performance has remained faithful to its original function of giving physical expression to the Kuyu cosmogony.
