Looking for book on Indonesian dress/weapons

[maxwellnorth]

I was wondering if anyone on the forum could direct me to a good book/books that reference Indonesian dress and weapons. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Well I don't know about Indonesian dress, but weapons:

Traditional Weapons of the Indonesian Archipelago
by Albert G. Van Zonneveld

This would be a good start.

By the same author, Traditional Weapons of Borneo. The Attire of the Head Hunters. Volume 1: Shields and War Clothes might be of interest, though certainly Borneo might be too far afield.

[A. G. Maisey]

If anything is available in respect of clothing, Ethnographic Art Books in Leiden will have it. I'm not posting a link because I suspect that might infringe our rules, but a google search will take you there.

I suggest you contact them and ask, don't try to find something by browsing the site.
