Abstract

This article offers an investigation into sculptural artefacts from the early historic period. Most of the objects under study are small in size and are often found dismembered or in pieces. This is partly because of the fragility of the material—baked clay—but more often, because of the techniques of manufacture—whether owing to a weak armature (where used), incomplete baking or/and the pressing together of elements in the mould that has yielded to the passage of time and rough handling. The following analysis seeks to locate these fragments by contextualising them in the spaces/regions they were found in, as well as in the estimated time periods. This contextualisation is specifically attempted through some typologically categorised case studies pursued through the lens of ‘transculturality’ and ‘materiality’.
视觉和物质文化的跨文化交流:北印度兵马俑案例研究
本文对历史早期的雕塑艺术品进行了研究。所研究的大部分文物体积都很小,而且经常被肢解或打碎。部分原因是由于材料--烘焙粘土--的脆弱性,但更常见的原因是由于制造技术--无论是由于脆弱的纟(如果使用)、不完整的烘焙或/和在模具中压制在一起的元素屈服于时间的流逝和粗暴的处理。下面的分析试图通过将这些碎片与它们被发现的空间/区域以及估计的时间段联系起来来确定它们的位置。通过 "跨文化性 "和 "物质性 "视角下的一些类型化分类案例研究,这种背景分析得到了具体的尝试。
