介绍（中）	塔伊诺民族的创造性雕塑表达与精神、仪式和政治权力交织在一起。西班牙的记述描述了zemí人物如何被用作看台、圣物柜或个人装饰。这种特殊的＜i＞zemízemí的特殊保存表明，它是精心建造和崇敬的，可能传承了几个世纪。在没有埋葬证据的情况下，很可能是这个zemí的看守人最终将这个特殊的人物存放在了一个洞穴中；许多幸存的塔伊诺木制雕塑都是从洞穴环境中复原的 1954年，伦敦人埃德娜·达科因写信给原始艺术博物馆的勒内德·哈农库尔（Renéd’Harnoncourt），向她提供了这座雕塑，这座雕塑伴随埃德娜于1938年由英国画家凯尔·怀特（Carel Weight）为她画的肖像。英国的一个项目记录了各种博物馆藏品中的前西班牙裔雕塑艺术，在Rockefellerzemícoloba展台上进行了AMS放射性碳测年；来自四个日期的数据和该项目制作的＜i＞愈创木
介绍（英）	Creative sculptural expression for the Taíno peoples was intertwined with spirituality, ceremony, and political power. Spanish accounts describe how zemí figures were used as stands, reliquaries, or personal adornment. This particular zemí was likely used in ceremonies performed at prescribed times throughout the year involving a vegetal entheogen known as cohoba. A ground up hallucinogenic powder or paste would be placed on the top of the stand, and ceremonial participants would inhale the cohoba through snuff tubes. The effects of such ritual acts are visible in the zemí itself: the emaciated look of the figure may represent someone who had been fasting, and watering eyes would have accompanied the inhalation of such substances. The exceptional preservation of this zemí suggests that it was carefully housed and revered, perhaps passed down for centuries. Without evidence of burial, it is likely that the caretakers of this zemí eventually deposited this special figure in a cave; many of the surviving Taíno wooden sculptures have been recovered from cave contexts. In 1954, Londoner Edna Dakeyne wrote to René d’Harnoncourt at The Museum of Primitive Art to offer the sculpture, which accompanies Edna in a 1938 portrait of her painted by English painter Carel Weight. A project in the UK documenting pre-Hispanic sculptural arts in various museum collections performed AMS radiocarbon dating on the Rockefeller zemí cohoba stand; data from the four dates and a Guaiacum growth model produced by the project yielded a range of the date of creation between A.D. 974–1020.
