犀角雕琢艺术赏析

我国早在《汉书》“南越王赵陀献文帝犀角十”、《汉书·平帝纪》“二年春,黄支国献犀牛”中已有犀牛角的记载。现存最早的犀牛造型是东汉的错金银青铜器（中国国家博物馆减）（图1）,还有大清乾隆年制的仿生瓷器（图2）,在跨越历史1600年之后,两件非常相似,栩栩如生的犀牛造型,让我们见证了中国原有的犀牛是双角形、前角长后角短的亚洲苏门答腊犀。     

论篆刻的雕琢之美

魏广君《当代篆刻艺术的发展方向:刀法新境和谱系架构》中提出了“篆刻四美”,认为由于改革开放以来东西方异质观念的纠缠和共生,当代篆刻在审美层面存在着较为混乱的局面,所以在印学实践日益偏离传统观念的新语境之中,构建符合学理的美学谱系对于印学的健康发展无疑具有正本清源的作用。所谓“篆刻四美”包括“隐喻原型的古雅之美”“错金镂彩的雕琢之美”“移情震荡的发抒之美”“奥赜寓言的抽象之美”。

雅鲁藏布岩石

雅鲁藏布江是世界上海拔最高的大河,发育在青藏高原极其复杂的地质构造条件下和高海拔的恶劣地理环境中,与喜马拉雅山相伴,顺着欧亚大陆板块撞击的构造缝合线由西向东流动,最后流出国界,注入印度洋。1998年参加“雅漂”的摄影师李宏给我们带回来了这几张雅鲁藏布江边

为体验激情而生的岩石

我们用海枯石烂来形容永恒,可是,石头真的会烂。至少对于丹霞地貌的红石来说,石烂不过几百年的工夫。我们见到的丹霞地貌大多是中生代沉积岩,混选性差,成岩时间短,特别松脆,容易被风雨肢解。我觉得这是种像树木一样会腐烂的岩石。在泰宁,从没人用红石建房子,人们宁愿用砖,用鹅卵石,或者跑得更远去搬花岗岩。

PERFORATED STONE AXE-HEADS IN THE BRITISH NEOLITHIC: THEIR DISTRIBUTION AND SIGNIFICANCE

Summary. This paper investigates the ways in which stone axes were modified in areas of Britain distant from their original sources. One small group was turned into pendants and another seems to have been converted into maceheads. This has implications for studies of the 'axe trade' that assume that such artefacts had a fixed value throughout their distribution.

STONE AXES OF THE CHANNEL ISLANDS: NEOLITHIC EXCHANGE IN AN INSULAR CONTEXT

Summary. The petrology of stone axes found in the Channel Islands is examined. Recent research has resulted in the identification of an axe production centre at Le Pinacle, Jersey, and axes produced there have been recorded on Guernsey, Alderney and Sark. The Channel Island assemblages also include axes of Type A dolerite, flint, jadeite, eclogite and fibrolite, produced at known centres on the European mainland: together, these 'exotic' axes account for around 32% of the total Channel Island sample. A marked fall-off is noted between Jersey and the other islands in terms of the occurrence of these imported axes, and this can perhaps be explained in relation to factors affecting navigation. The social significance of inter-island and island/mainland interaction is explored.
