Here another image, to keep up the good spirit, which I am sure you like a lot more. 
It is a very old image, made around 1870, and also from Celebes.
It is a warrior of Manado (watch the spear)....
Kind Regards,

Hi Maurice,
what is the original decription of the image?
Mandao means that it could be a Minahassan warrior.
his hat shows also like that.
not that he is likely not used how to handle the shield course he held it upsidedown, so I think it can also be a studio photo.
regards,
