Default batak shaman books

hello,

a couple of years ago i was on sumatra, lake toba. when you get out of the boat you can see hundreds of these books. different scales. some with lizzards etc. from 1 to XXX dollars or euros. antique ones, are extremely rare. probably only affordable for the rich. the dutch tropenmuseum has some nice examples. the most wellknown is the large example with a wooden sigha on top. seen in many batak books.

greetings ron
