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. |

Of course, this is the director's staging of the photographer. But were very expressive photos.

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.

Ottoman guards late 1800s to early 1900s, a type of honor or consular guard (kavas or cawas) in the middle east. The last image is of Joseph P. Khabbaz from around 1940, wearing the traditional uniform of chief cawas/kawas, standing under the US Consulate General emblem atop of the gate leading to the embassy where he has worked for 20 yrs.

Interesting to see in the last few posts that the swords are all worn or carried edge up. The suspension rings are sometimes aligned to the edge but often to the back as ''normal''. :shrug: I'm fairly new to this forum so apologies if I've picked up on something that has been discussed many times before.
|
I love the staffs, anyone got any information on them or does anyone have one ?

Interesting that the fellow to the far left in photo 4 is also carrying a Moroccan koummya.

Photo with bigger shields:
Wakuasi warriors from Kavirondo, Western Kenya, probably end of 19th century Photo with smaller shields: Also warriors from Kavirondo, Western Kenya, 1910 I do not know, if both groups are Nilotic Kavirondo (that time also used name "Wakuasi"), or not (there are living Nilotic and Bantu Kavirondo in the same region). In any case, the change of the spearheads style and the change of the size of the shields is interesting. As far as the spearheads, I red somewhere, that the era of very long and narrow spearheads began when the export of steel rods to Africa started. |
