Default More Nias warriors

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.
