The sword shouldered by the central figure appears to be of particularly rare form of belato, associated with Nias island.

I don't think so, it's a mandau with the edge pointed to his throat. See also the handle in his hand. ![]() Regards, Detlef Last edited by Ian; 31st March 2024 at 04:42 AM. Reason: Removal of link showing items for sale |

so I think our friend Detlev might be correct, as the literature of those days might contain some errors but nevertheless it concerned the Dutch colonial region . Some more pics on the Mena Muria'warriors from the Moluccans . The last pic are Honitetu-Alifuru dancing the tjakalele Piru, Ceram 1912 Last edited by gp; 31st March 2024 at 01:26 AM. |

You're of course correct about the accoutrements. I should shave with Occam's razor. |

Unfortunately not: the only title on this sculpture is “ Guerrier à Cheval “ , i.e. warrior on horse and made end 19th century. Sometimes “Ottoman” added to warrior on some of the literature describing this piece of art.

Figuure 1. This is a well known etching of an Illonaon (Ilanun, Iranum) pirate that was published from a water color and ink sketch by Samuel Francis Marryat, a French artist who traveled through Borneo in 1848. The site of the sketch is indicated as Tampassook, Borneo. I have also extracted a blow-up of the sword held by this individual and the keris he wears at his waist.
Figure 2. This appears to have been that pirate's paraw. The figure aft looks very much like the individual in the initial picture, and is wearing identical clothing. At the bow on the lower deck is a large lantaka, a bronze cannon that was used widely in the South China Sea. Figure 3. In another sketch, Marryat records a (not very friendly) encounter with a Datu (possibly the Sultan) in Bruni, and his retinue (1848). There is one fellow standing in his canoe who is carrying what appears to be a kampilan, and doing his best to look tough. The other standing figures appear to be women, perhaps the brides of the Datu/Sultan. An interesting composition that captures some tension in the moment. Figure 4. "Procession of the Sultan of Gonong Tabor" (1848). Another Marryat sketch. The flag bearer in front has a sword while the other members of the party mostly carry a spear and shield, and wear a keris. The Sultan wears a sword and keris. Figure 5. The last Marryat sketch I could find online was this one of Dayak women (no weapons visible). |

Most people know Goya from his work "The Disasters of War (Spanish: Los desastres de la guerra) " being a series of 82 prints created between 1810 and 1820 : https://artfacts.net/exhibition/goya...-sleeps/895569
but also most interesting is a painting called The Second of May 1808, also known as The Charge of the Mamelukes (Spanish: El 2 de mayo de 1808 en Madrid, La lucha con los mamelucos or La carga de los mamelucos) Created: 1814. Medium: oil on canvas . Dimensions: 8'9" x 11'4" in Museo Nacional del Prado (Prado Museum); Madrid, Spain. Having been on an exhibition of Dali - Goya , Dali loved and was inspired by Goya, specially his war topics. As a result you can see some influances on Dali's 'The Battle of Tetuan', 1961 . Enclosed both paintings , some details and 2 studies of Dali |
