这个图大家都眼熟吧。谁不知道这张图，谁就不知道露西。
我今天奋斗了一个下午，到目前为止，已经成功截获这个图片的出处。
虽然成绩辉煌，惭愧的是没赶上领奖时间。不过还是要贴出来，求个心理安慰。
论坛里面有一位高人曾经告诉我这个网站：http://flickr.com/
我当时没有认识到这是破解找图的一大法宝，没有利用好这是一大失误。
平常熟悉的事情，我掐指一算，机缘巧合的话也能推对一两个。
可是，碰到多媒体这群魔鬼，一股子力气使不出来，因为算不对了。
良好的直觉和颇高的智商告诉我，一定要找到面具这个英文，
我翻来中英文字典，果然找到了，是mask！
于是我坚定了一个信念，这个图片一定跟这个有关系。
我下定决心，输入mask，回车。
出来面具不少，也就是翻到第5页，奇迹出现了！
这个要命的东西出来了。
African Pendant Mask in the Metropolitan Museum of Art
又翻字典，结果认出来了。我比较善于抓关键词，一抓Museum发现这个东西还是个有年代的东西。
在网页上乱点几下，现在网络就怎么奇怪，几个回合下来，网页全是英文了。

关键字太多了，查字典可能到过年也查不完。不查了。
This ivory pendant mask is one of a pair of nearly identical works; its counterpart is in the British Museum in London. Although images of women are rare in Benin's courtly tradition, these two works have come to symbolize the legacy of a dynasty that continues to the present day. The pendant mask is believed to have been produced in the early sixteenth century for the King or \"Oba\" Esigie, the king of Benin, to honor his mother, Idia. The Oba may have worn it at rites commemorating his mother, although today such pendants are worn at annual ceremonies of spiritual renewal and purification.
In Benin, ivory is related to the color white, a symbol of ritual purity that is associated with Olokun, god of the sea. As the source of extraordinary wealth and fertility, Olokun is the spiritual counterpart of the \"oba\". Ivory is central to the constellation of symbols surrounding Olokun and the \"oba\". Not only is it white, but it is itself Benin's principle commercial commodity and it helped attract the Portuguese traders who also brought wealth to Benin.
The mask is a sensitive, idealized portrait, depicting its subject with softly modeled features, bearing inlaid metal and carved scarification marks on the forehead, and wearing bands of coral beads below the chin. In the openwork tiara and collar are carved stylized mudfish and the bearded faces of Portuguese. Because they live both on land and in the water, mudfish represent the king's dual nature as human and divine. Having come from across the seas, the Portuguese were considered denizens of the spirit realm who brought wealth and power to the \"oba\".Provenance

其实说实话，这年头，像我这样有奉献精神的好人，确实不怎么多了。 |
