Great photo.
Now I wonder what they were doing with that huge stone! Here are a couple of other Nias warrior pictures. I apologize if they are duplicates. B/r, Dave A. |

A native soldier in Italian service in Italian Somaliland, so probably from the 1930s. Note the small billao behind the ammo pouches.

I haven't gone through the entire thread to see if this was covered already, but this is identified as an Onna-Bugeish, a female warrior of the Japanese nobility.
