俄羅斯人:幸福沒有年齡之分 後蘇聯國家的結構主義建築遺存

達吉斯坦山區深處誕生的銀器珠寶

來源: 《透視俄羅斯》
There is a great deal to see in the mountainous region of Daguestan: in the numerous high mountain villages the family secrets of pottery, silversmithing, engraving, gilding, and carving continue to be passed down from one generation to the next. Each village has its own specialisation. Today we travel to the village of Kubachi, one of the most famous traditional centres for the production of silver jewellery, stone and wood carving in the Caucasus.

達吉斯坦共和國的山區有很多值得一看的東西:在山里的各個村子里,制作陶器,銀器,石雕,鍍金,雕刻的家傳秘訣仍在代代相傳。每個村都有自己的“專長”。今天我們來到了庫巴奇村,這里是高加索地區最有名的傳統銀飾、石雕和木雕中心之一。
This village has a rich history and back in the IV Century it was mentioned in the Persian chronicles under the name of Zerikhgeran (warriors), and Kubachi is derived from the Turkish translation. Armourers have worked in the village since ancient times, forging chain mail, swords, and sabres of various shapes and sizes.

這個村有著豐富的歷史,早在四世紀,它就出現在了波斯編年史的武士條目下。
Legend has it that Aleksandr Makedonskiy's helmet was made by Kubachi craftsmen as well as the collection of blank weapons given as a gift by Aleksandr III to Queen Victoria. In Soviet times items made by Kubachi craftsmen were often presented to people of power as extravagant gifts.

傳說中,馬其頓亞歷山大大帝的頭盔就是由庫巴奇的工匠制作的。另外,亞歷山大三世贈送給維多利亞女王的冷兵器也是這里制作的。在前蘇聯時期,由庫巴奇工匠制作的產品往往是送給位高權重者的貴重禮物。
For example today a vase is kept in the village museum (which features bone carvings, gilding, silversmithing), which was presented to Stalin. After his cult was dethroned it was miraculously returned to the village where it was made.

比如現在存放在村博物館里的一個花瓶(動用了骨雕,鍍金和鏨銀),這是曾送給斯大林的禮物。在斯大林主義倒臺後,它又奇跡般地回到制造它的村子。
Today's realities have naturally left their mark on production. Chain mail is of course no longer produced, and if a sword is made it is of course not as a weapon.

如今的現實在產品上也自然會留下自己的印記。鎖子甲當然是不再生產了,即便鑄造的是劍,也不再是用作為武器了。
Generally the village produces chique dinner-sets, equestrian harnesses, and an awful lot of jewellery for women.

這個村現在主要生產成套餐具,馬術裝具,還有大量為女士制作的珠寶。
Interestingly, parallel to the state enterprise, which is engaged in production, many private craftsmen work in the village. It is for this very reason that it is worth coming here and seeing for yourself, how sought after silver plates or a delicate women's bracelet are produced from off-cuts and scraps of silver.

有意思的是,盡管有從事此類生產的國有企業,很多私人工匠還是在村里工作。正是出於這個原因,到這里來親眼看一看還是非常值得的,可以看到炙手可熱的銀盤和精美女士手鐲是如何用邊角料和廢銀制作出來的。
The bracelets are decorated with gilt and filigree enamel. As an added nonus you can even watch the entire process from beginning to end.

手鐲上裝飾有鎏金和掐絲琺瑯。此外,你可以觀看完整的制作過程。
As the village is small, all the inhabitants know each other. You can form a more or less complete picture of which craftsmem are in the village now and what their specialisations are quite rapidly. There are craftsmen who are able to take on any work but they are few and far between.

由於村子很小,所有的居民都相互認識。你能在相當短的時間里就對村里的工匠,他們各自擅長什麽形成比較完整的了解。有些工匠什麽工種都能勝任,可是他們的數量很少。
It is more often the case that a craftsman will specialise in a specific type of work. For example, silver needs to be smelted and leaves cast for further processing. Only a few people in the village are able to do this kind of work and the other craftsmen approach them.

更常見的情況下,工匠對於特定類型的工作更為擅長。例如,銀需要先進行冶煉,然後留待做進一步的加工。在村里只有少數人能夠做到這件工作,其他工匠也會來找他們。
The Kubachi Artistic Combine was once renowned throughout the whole country and even beyond its borders. Craftsmen still work in the combine but not on the same scale as before. A unique collection of objects produced in the combine over a number of years is kept there and is worth taking a look at.

庫巴奇工藝聯合體曾享譽全國,甚至名傳海外。如今工匠們仍然在聯合體內工作,但是規模已不同於以前了。多年來聯合體生產的一些獨特物品仍保留在那里,確實是值得一看的。
Some of them were in series production, while just a few examples of other objects were produced for a specific order. As you see the examples, you can only marvel at the craftsmanship of these people working with silver and wood.

Ivan Dementievskiy/dementievskiy.livejournal.com

其中一些已進入系列化生產,而只有少數物品是按照特定的要求定做的。當你看著那些物品的時候,你只會驚嘆於工匠在制作銀器和木雕時的精湛技藝。
