Wat?   Kykladenidol en Exekias-schaal

Waar? Staatliche ANtikensammlung, München

Wanneer?    31 juli 2019

‘Kykladenidol’ is een beeldje, afkomstig van –de naam verraadt het al- de Cycladen. Kunst van drie- tot zesduizend jaar oud. Het beeldje hier in de Staatliche Antikensammlung wordt gedateerd rond 2600 v.C. Toch ogen de beeldjes gestileerd en modern. En dat is niet zo gek. Kunstenaars uit de twintigste eeuw, zoals Picasso en Gauguin ontleenden veel inspiratie aan zogenaamde ‘primitieve’ beschavingen, waaronder deze vroege Griekse kunst. Je hoeft niet heel veel moeite te doen om je voor te stellen dat dit Cycladen-beeldje gemaakt is door een kunstenaar uit de moderne tijd.

De ‘Exekias-schaal’ is een drinkschaal, genoemd naar de maker: Exekias. Onderin is een afbeelding te zien van de god Dyonisos. Naarmate er meer wijn uit de schaal was gedronken, werd de god van de wijn meer zichtbaar. Op de rug van de schaal staan twee ogen. Wanneer iemand de schaal opneemt en drinkt, lijkt het of de ogen op de schaal de ogen van de drinker zijn.

Bufo

Bufo

This article is about toads. For the Finnish company, see Bufo (company). Bufo is a large genus of about 150 species of true toads in the amphibian family Bufonidae. Bufo is a Latin word for toad. Description True toads have in common stocky figures and short legs, which make them relatively poor jumpers. As with all members of the family Bufonidae, they lack a tail and teeth, and they have horizontal pupils. Their dry skin is thick and warty. Western toad (Bufo boreas) Behind their eyes, Bufo species have wart-like structures, the parotoid glands. These glands distinguish the true toads from all other tailless amphibians. They secrete a fatty, white poisonous substance which acts as a deterrent to predators. Ordinary, handling of toads is not dangerous, and does not cause warts in contradiction to folk beliefs. The poison of most if not all toads contains bufotoxin; the poison of the Colorado River toad (Bufo alvarius) is a potent hallucinogen containing 5-MeO-DMT and bufotenin. The poison's psychoactive effects are said to have been known to pre-Columbian Native Americans. Toads can also inflate their bodies when threatened. Males are usually smaller than females and possess a Bidder's organ, an incomplete ovary. The adult male of many species shows a dark throat. Breeding males have dark nuptial pads on their thumbs. Distribution This is a truly cosmopolitan genus, able to live under adverse conditions, and occurring around the world except in the Arctic and Antarctic, Madagascar, Australia (with the exception of the introduced cane toad), and New Guinea and Oceania. Two species are found in the British Isles: the common toad (Bufo bufo), and the natterjack toad, (Bufo calamita). The former is found almost everywhere in Great Britain, but not in Ireland. The natterjack, which differs in its shorter limbs with nearly free toes (which are so short, the toad never hops but proceeds in a running gait) and in usually possessing orange or red warts, green eyes, and a pale-yellow line along the middle of the back, is local in England, the south-west of Scotland, and the west of Ireland. It is further remarkable for the very loud croak of the males, produced by a large vocal bladder on the throat which, when inflated, is larger than the head. Psychoactive properties Several species of Bufo toads produce poison with psychoactive properties. The poison of one species (Bufo alvarius) contains both 5-MeO-DMT and bufotenin, while some others contain only bufotenin. Author Lee B. Croft, in his satiric novel, Toadies: The Explanation of Toxicomania in American Society, has coined the word "bufoglossation" to describe the deliberate licking of Bufo toads for hallucinogenic purposes, but psychoactive substance information site Erowid warns against such use because of the cardiotoxins (bufadienolides) included in the toads' poison. Groups Species in this genus can be quite different, which has led to a recent recommendation in the Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History to split the genus, a recommendation that has been rejected (in part) by many taxonomists (see Pauly et al., 2004, Evolution 58: 2517–2535; Pauly et al., 2009, Herpetologica 65:115-128). Instead, the relationships between the different species are formalized by categorizing them into subgenera, such as Anaxyrus and Rhinella. Species Colorado River Toad (Bufo alvarius) Bufo is a large group, and it is usually divided into several subgenera. Frost et al. (2006) removed most of the species of former Bufo to other genera and restricted the name Bufo to members of the Bufo bufo group of earlier authors. However, other authors continue to recognize these subgroups of Bufo as subgenera. Rhinella is composed of a combination of Rhamphophryne and Chaunus (two subgroups of Bufo in the broad sense). Rhinella is recognized as a distinct genus by some, although other herpetologists disagree and maintain these species as a subgenus within Bufo. Here the species of Rhinella are treated in a separate page (where they may be considered a separate genus or as a subgenus of Bufo). Main article: Anaxyrus Some authors recognize the Genus, Anaxyrus, as a subgenus of the Genus, Bufo. Anaxyrus contains 22 species found in North and Central America including the common American toad, A. americanus. Composed of 12 species, this subgenus is found in temperate Eurasia and Japan south to North Africa, the Middle East, northeastern Myanmar, and northern Vietnam. Binomial name and author Common name Bufo aspinius (Yang, Liu, and Rao, 1996) Bufo bankorensis Barbour, 1908 Central Formosa toad, Bankor toad Bufo bufo (Linnaeus, 1758) Common toad, European toad Bufo gargarizans Cantor, 1842 Chusan Island toad, Asiatic toad Bufo japonicus Temminck and Schlegel, 1838 Japanese toad Bufo kabischi Herrmann and Kühnel, 1997 Bufo minshanicus Stejneger, 1926 Gansu toad, Minshan toad Bufo tibetanus Zarevskij, 1926 Tibetan toad Bufo torrenticola Matsui, 1976 Honshū toad, Japanese stream toad Bufo tuberculatus Zarevskij, 1926 Qinghai Lake toad, Round-warted toad Bufo verrucosissimus (Pallas, 1814) Caucasian toad Bufo wolongensis Herrmann & Kühnel, 1997 a fossil genus, Bufo linquensis lived during Miocene of China. This assemblage of 23 species remained outside the main groups. Frost et al. denoted the species in this group as polyphyletic by placing "Bufo" in quotation marks. Presumably, as these taxa are studied, they will be allocated to one or another of the existing groups. Binomial name and author Common name Bufo ailaoanus Kou, 1984 Ejia toad, Ailao toad Bufo arabicus Heyden, 1827 Arabian toad Bufo beddomii Günther, 1876 Beddome's toad Bufo brevirostris Rao, 1937 Kempholey toad, Short-nosed toad, Rao's pale brown toad Bufo cryptotympanicus Liu & Hu, 1962 Earless toad Bufo dhufarensis Parker, 1931 Oman toad - very similar to B. scorteccii Bufo dodsoni Boulenger, 1895 Dodson's toad Bufo hololius Günther, 1876 Malabar toad, Gûnther's toad Bufo koynayensis Soman, 1963 Humbali Village toad, Koyna toad, Chrome-yellow toad Bufo mauritanicus Schlegel, 1841 Berber toad, Pantherine toad, Moroccan toad Bufo olivaceus Blanford, 1874 Olive toad, Baluchistan coastal toad, Makran toad Bufo pageoti Bourret, 1937 Tonkin toad Bufo parietalis (Boulenger, 1882) Indian toad, Ridged toad, Timber forest toad Bufo pentoni Anderson, 1893 Shaata Gardens toad, Penton's toad Bufo scaber Schneider, 1799 Ferguson’s toad Bufo scorteccii Balletto & Cherchi, 1970 Scortecci’s toad Bufo silentvalleyensis Pillai, 1981 Silent Valley toad, South Indian hill toad Bufo stejnegeri Schmidt, 1931 Stejneger's toad, Korean toad, Water toad Bufo stomaticus Lütken, 1864 Assam toad, Indus Valley toad, Marbled toad Bufo stuarti Smith, 1929 Stuart’s toad Bufo sumatranus Peters, 1871 Sumatra toad Bufo tihamicus Balletto & Cherchi, 1973 Balletto's toad Bufo valhallae Meade-Waldo, 1909 Pulo Weh toad These four species were removed from the synonymy of Bufo by Frost et al., 2006.
