介绍（中）	数百年前，一位姆本贝艺术家在喀麦隆和尼日利亚两大雕塑传统交汇处雕刻了这个产妇形象的幽灵遗物。它是早在 17 世纪就创作的仅有的十几件相关作品之一，使其成为苏丹西部南部幸存下来的最古老的木雕。这些人物中的每一个最初都是位于姆本贝精神生活中心的巨大雕刻鼓的组成部分。所有幸存的例子长时间暴露在这些元素中，导致了强烈的风化，这已成为其美学的一个戏剧性维度。这是姆本贝对母亲和孩子主题的三幅描绘之一 - 每幅都是独一无二的。这种解释对于孩子通过的处理是惊人的，该通道水平延伸到母亲的躯干上，双腿缠绕在身体的右侧，强调他们的交集。
介绍（英）	This spectral relic of a maternity figure was carved hundreds of years ago by a Mbembe artist working at the confluence of two major sculptural traditions - those of Cameroon and Nigeria. It is one of only a dozen related works that may have been created as early as the seventeenth century making them the oldest wood sculptures to have survived south of the Western Sudan. Each of these figures was originally an integral part of a monumental carved drum positioned at the epicenter of Mbembe spiritual life. The exposure of all of the surviving examples to the elements over extended periods of time has resulted in intensive weathering that has become a dramatic dimension of their aesthetic. This is one of three Mbembe depictions of the subject of mother and child - each of which is unique. This interpretation is striking for the handling of the passage of the child that is rendered extending horizontally across the mother's torso with its legs wrapped around the proper right side of her body emphatically underscoring their intersection.
