Description
A very rare complete warriors suit of Armour from the Toraja people of Saluwesi, Indonesia. The vest is composed of bone cut from the scapula and ribs of buffalo which are sewn to a woven burlap layer that has a split rattan backing, you can also see the carved decoration to the fastners on the vest. The vest also comes with the headress and necklace (hard to get the complete outfit these days) and appears all items have been worn in tribal ceremonies, the items date back to early 1900's as far as I know.The statue is 1.9mt tall or 75 inches with a shoulder width of 560mm or 22 inches This complete suite with all you can see would be great for a museum or any entry hall
