介绍（中）	在巴布亚新几内亚东北部塞皮克河中游以南的山丘山脉中，许多人以所谓的对钩风格工作，其中弯曲和尖钩围绕中央设计元素排列在垂直轴上。其中最优雅的是阿兰布拉克人非凡的风格化拟人化钩子人物，被称为yipwon。当地的口头传统描述了这些独特图像的起源。当以前居住在地球上的太阳之灵雕刻第一口锣（一种大型乐器）时，雕刻中凿出的木块作为与太阳一起生活在男人礼仪屋中的灵魂而栩栩如生。有一天，这些灵魂杀死了太阳的一位男性亲戚并喝了他的血，之后他们靠在房子的墙上伸展自己，变回木头。被他们的行为激怒了，太阳升上了天空，而伊普元人则作为战争和狩猎的守护神留在地球上。像这样的大型yipwon图像由氏族集体拥有，而较小的便携式图像则由个人拥有并用作护身符，由其所有者装在网袋中携带，以在狩猎和战斗中取得成功。
介绍（英）	Throughout the ranges of hills south of the middle Sepik River in northeast Papua New Guinea, a number of peoples worked in what is known as the opposed-hooks style, in which curved and pointed hooks are arranged on a vertical axis around a central design element. Among the most elegant are the remarkable stylized anthropomorphic hook figures of the Alamblak people that are known as yipwon. Local oral tradition describes the origin of these distinctive images. When the spirit of the Sun, who formerly inhabited the earth, was carving the first slit gong (a large musical instrument), the pieces of wood chipped from the carving came to life as spirits who lived with the Sun in the men's ceremonial house. One day these spirits killed one of the Sun's male relatives and drank his blood, after which they stretched themselves out against the wall of the house and turned back into wood. Angered by their act, the Sun ascended into the sky while the yipwon remained on earth as patron spirits of warfare and hunting. Large yipwon images such as this one were owned collectively by clans, while smaller portable examples were individually owned and served as amulets, carried in net bags by their owners to bring success in hunting and battle.
