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,

This stones are ceremonial, only the young men who are able to jump over such a stone can become a warrior. This ceremony is living still today.

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.

Circassian Cultural Charity Evening, Krasnodar, 18 January 1908.

Following devastating floods in the Kuban Region in Western Circassia in the winter of 1907/1908, the newly-formed Circassian Charity Society in Ekaterinodar [present-day Krasnodar], composed of well-off and intellectual local Circassians, organised a charity event on 18 January 1908 to raise money to help the victims of the floods and alleviate their ordeal.

The event was highly publicized and the famous Russian photographer Semen Afanasevich Shavlovsky [Семен Афанасьевич Шавловский] was engaged to document the proceedings in "living pictures". The event was well attended, and the organisers, including Prince Sultan Dovlet-Girey, managed to raise more than 2,000 roubles, a handsome sum at the time.
