A beautiful Salawaku for enjoy

Oh, I also have images of these three oldies.
I photographed them (uhm... at least I tried to get as best as possible with my louzy photographing), in the Nusantara museum in Delft.
Now one of the many museums that had to close their doors allready for the public in the Netherlands.

Thank you so much Albert for posting this image.

Thank you Maurice for posting this interesting and beautiful shields. The salawaku in the first picture is either from the very south of Halmahera or from a other Moluccas island but for sure not from the area around Tobelo in the north of Halmahera. But early collected since it still have the reinforcing rotan at the edging.
The others on the other picture are beautiful, special the one in the middle and are typical for the mainland of Halmahera.
Salawakus can come in very different size and very different design, here some more from my collection. The ones in the first picture are of the most common size, the ones in the second pictures are made for young boys IMHO, only the one on the left is from the middle of Halmahera and I don't think that it is for a young boy.

For all who are interested, here you can watch the typical Cakalele dance from Halmahera, filmed from my wife this January in Seki, a kampung in the North from Tobelo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...ature=emb_logo
