The image, captured by Duverger in the 18th-19th century, beautifully depicts the traditional attire and weaponry of this fierce fighter. The warrior is adorned with a batik headcloth and an ikat sarong (skirt), reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Indonesia. A belt with a kris (a traditional Indonesian dagger) adds to his formidable presence. His wrists are adorned with bracelets, symbolizing strength and bravery. Carrying a lance and shield, this warrior exudes power and readiness for battle. The handcoloured woodcut technique used by Duverger enhances the vibrancy of his costume and accessories.
