Old postcard with two dancers/warriors....
Anybody interested in discussing this old postcard that was for auction a while ago?
(P.S. it had been sold already, and it isn't mine...) The right sword looks like a kampilan to me, and the two people that are depicted are not looking like moro's.... Kind Regards, Maurice |

I vote for the north part of Celebes, the spear looks like that. combined with the kampilan it should be possible. regards, Arjan OOh and about old postcards,..... here another one |

Thank you for your input! I am pretty sure you hit the nail right on the head... P.S. It looks like your old postcard had been removed??? I have added it in my "head" map on my computer when it was still there...  Kind Regards, Maurice |

Nice one
Good post Maurice and good thoughts too, I too saw this when searching for another Moro Spear...yes I am sure we all are :-)).
I have an interest in old post cards depicting people with weaponry though I do refuse to pay the high prices many are asking for them. These cards are, even if staged for the photographer, a great insight in to times past and usually offer a good representation of how things once were and in turn helps our study and understanding of the things we collect.

Prices of old postcards can rise very high, but this one didn't get out for that high. I like old images and old postcards, indeed for the reason you mention. And this one puzzled me a bit, but after Arjan's comment all pieces of the puzzle fall in place... Kind Regards, Maurice |

Interesting postcard Maurice.
I have a spear exactly as the one in the picture. A fellow collector already indicated years ago that this spear is from Celebes / Sulawesi. But nice to see this confirmed by this picture and Arjans comments. Best regards, Willem Last edited by asomotif; 12th November 2010 at 12:35 PM. |

Do you mind posting a picture in this thread? Kai also has one in his collection (well, he did a few years ago and I don't know if he still has it). Kind Regards, Maurice |
