This picture shows an Alfur from the Wemale tribes of Ceram. Rare type of sword he holds.

This man doesn't look from Halmahera to my eyes, the shield is from Sulawesi and also the clothes looks to be from Sulawesi.
It seems that also old sources could be wrong.

Yes, that's typical Halmahera, salawaku and pade, also the dress is correct!

interesting also for art lovers amongst you...

after Rembrandt and Vermeer in the past, the Dutch Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam now has again a most interesting exhibition on Frans Hals, with paintings from all over Europe . It is till June and reservation is required.

I just returned and was "blown outta my socks" by the detail and beauty of his portraying of the cold waepons at that time, specially the grips / hilts. Look for youself and enjoy !

and the last couple of piccs

[fernando]

Splendid !!!

looking up something, I stumbled upon these 3 interesting items:

Three Arrowheads, circa 1437-39. Bohemia, probably Prague. Exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

These extremely large arrowheads, originally mounted on wooden straps, probably served as symbols of rank.

They are decorated with royal monograms and insignia as well as religious invocations. The three prongs bear the monogram of AR Albert, King of Bohemia and Hungary (reigned 1437-39). In one case the monogram AE is also found, probably for Albert and Elizabeth, his queen.

The right and left arrowheads bear the mark of the Turkish Arsenal, indicating that they were captured by Ottoman forces, perhaps during the campaign of 1439 during which Albert was killed, and then stored in the Turkish Arsenal in Constantinople.

guess perhaps room to start a new topic like these kind of historic items ?

but to please your puristic rule; picture added now

Solution to a question....

[fernando]

Yes, obviously a new topic indeed. This one has hardly something to do with it .

C'mon gp. This is the one only topic dedicated to period people with Ethno weapons. As if you had no chance to post those arrowheads in a more adequate thread ... even in a new topic. I will skip over the puristic part !
