What would you call 'the right hands'? A collector a long distance away who may never have even been in contact with a Dajak, but can only talk and fantasise? It is precarious to play 'armchair pontiff'.

Anyway, if you're talking about 'violence/horror', you should look closer to home... try Raymond 'Turk' Westerling. He possibly would've been tried for 'crimes against humanity' had he not avoided it by dying.

Best,
