Hello everyone

Im quite new to this forum so im learning every day.
My grandparents past away and they left me a bunch of swords not long ago !
There is also (as i found out in a earlier thread ) a Belida sword from the Flores Island in my possession now . I have a couple of questions about this sword !

Which people used this sword ( the name of the tribe)
Was it only used on the flores island
Are there any pictures/ paintings/ drawings of these people ?
Does someone have seen a drawing or illustration which shows that the sword is being carried by a tribe member

Best regards Rogier

Hello Battara

I don’t know if that is allowed because I showed the sword already in the thread “ Dutch Indie’s Swords “ i try it anyway

Kind regards
