I don't think so, it's a mandau with the edge pointed to his throat. See also the handle in his hand. ;) Also the blowpipe, shields and costumes are Dayak. Regards, Detlef |

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 |
