About the Item
This antique print, titled 'Guerrier de Timor (Amfoang),' provides a vivid portrayal of an Atoni warrior from Kupang, West Timor, Indonesia. The hand-colored woodcut captures intricate details of the warrior's attire and adornments. He is depicted with tall plant fronds and feathers on his back, symbolizing his status and achievements. The bells hanging from his attire represent the number of men he has defeated in battle.
The warrior is dressed in a bandana, jacket, tai muti hip-cloth, and anklets, showcasing the traditional clothing and accessories of the Atoni people. Additionally, he carries a musket, highlighting the weaponry used by indigenous warriors in the region.
This print is a valuable historical record, providing insights into the culture, customs, and attire of the Atoni people of Timor during the 19th century. It is part of Auguste Wahlen's comprehensive work, "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples du Monde," published in 1845, which documented the customs and costumes of diverse cultures from around the world.
