Vandoo,

Interesting that you also show the Toraja armour.
I have seen resembling armour like yours but not with that many "buttons" before. Usually they are white on the old pictures.
The matching helmet is also cool.
The more usual ones seems to be those with large, flat buffalo horn attached to the front. But now and then you see other forms also. Like yours or more pileshaped.

It's strange that the Toraja tribes doesn't get the same kind of attention as f.i. the Dayak tribes.
I really like their swords and spears.
Unfortunately I don't have any space left for shields and armour.

On the resemblence of Dayak and Moro armour I suspect that the armour you have seen might be from Moros living on Borneo?
Especially if it was from Sabah?
