The sword shouldered by the central figure appears to be of particularly rare form of belato, associated with Nias island.

I don't think so, it's a mandau with the edge pointed to his throat. See also the handle in his hand. ![]() Regards, Detlef Last edited by Ian; 31st March 2024 at 04:42 AM. Reason: Removal of link showing items for sale |

so I think our friend Detlev might be correct, as the literature of those days might contain some errors but nevertheless it concerned the Dutch colonial region . Some more pics on the Mena Muria'warriors from the Moluccans . The last pic are Honitetu-Alifuru dancing the tjakalele Piru, Ceram 1912 Last edited by gp; 31st March 2024 at 01:26 AM. |

You're of course correct about the accoutrements. I should shave with Occam's razor. |

Unfortunately not: the only title on this sculpture is “ Guerrier à Cheval “ , i.e. warrior on horse and made end 19th century. Sometimes “Ottoman” added to warrior on some of the literature describing this piece of art.
