I have guessed that most members are not familiar with these shields, the reason why I started this thread.

Alor, Pantar, close to the Moluccan archipelago.
Known nowadays for its beautiful sealife and (scuba)diving.
Once fierce warriors, not to mess with...
Enclosed a couple of pics from Alor

Any information about bows and arrows from that part of the world would be much appreciated! In any language. Easy to find photos online but hard to find anything from a collectors or researchers perspective. Zonneveld does not include much IIRC. The bow with the metal bands and hair ornamentation is wild.
