English: A copper helmet from Poso, Sulawesi, modelled after European helmet. Transcription from the book:
Copper helmets from Celebes. Caused through our communication in the previous volume of this Magazine, p. 216, writes Mr Alb to us. C. Kruyt, from Posso, Celebes on March 19 of this year. J .: These helmets also come in Central Celebes in front. I found one with the Topebatu, a second with the Tonapu and a third south of the lake. The natives claim that several more scattered here and there, are present. Of the I am sending a copy found at the Tonapu here is a drawing for you; all are pretty thin brass sheet (approx. 2 mm Thick) done. The round, convex ones visible at the edge raises, the heads of the rivets are through what two layers of sheet metal, forming the edge, with to be connected to each other; are in front two cylinder-shaped bodies, probably for feather bottles for sure. The helmets don't give high concept of the visual appearance of their finished and don't make the impression yet completely accomplished job. The Toradja's living here lierum claim to have received the helmets from the Tomori; with this tribe you can find, as well as through those received there by Messrs. Sakasin imitation from Rotan is proven in the that helmets of this kind. But also through the same Tomori should be made like the Toradja this claim is not acceptable because the helmets show embossed decorations and the tomori not understanding this art, any more than that riveting individual parts, for which the helmets too provide examples. The brass headgear we have met in Parigi, stunned by Ternate. “You see the question of the origin of the helmets is still shrouded in darkness." In connection with the latter remark, we permit us the information that Drs. A. B. Meyee & Osw. Judges, due to their sub-searches that have come to the conclusion that the Helmets of old Dutch origin, in the 17th century have come to India, and in part for Suitana guards from the Netherlands true (Abh. & Ber. des Kgl. Zool. and Anthr.-Ethn. Museum zu Dresden, 1900/01, Vol. IX N ». 6, pg. 79).Deutsch: Kupferhelme von Celebes. Veranlasst
durch unsere Mittheilung im vorigen Bande dieser Zeitschrift, p. 216, schreibt uns Herr Alb. C. Kruyt, aus Posso, Celebes unterm 19 März d. J.: „Diese Helme kommen auch in Central-Celebes „vor. Ich fand einen bei den Topebatu, einen zweiten
„welche zwei Lagen Blech, den Rand bildend, mit „einander verbunden werden; vorn befinden sich „zwei cylinderfürmige Körper, wahrscheinlich für „Federbflsche bestimmt. Die Helme geben keinen „hohen Begriff von der Gesehicklickeit ihrer Ver- „fertiger und machen den Eindruck einer noch nicht „völlig vollendeten Arbeit. „Die hier lierum wohnenden Toradja's behaupten „die Helme von den Tomori erhalten zu haben; „bei diesem Stamme finden sich , wie auch durch „jene durch die Herren Sakasin dort erhaltene „Nachahmung aus Rotan bewiesen wird, in der „That Helme dieser Art. Dass selbe aber auch durch „Tomori verfertigt sein sollen, wie die Toradja dies „behaupten, ist nicht aimehmbar, weil die Helme „getriebene Verzierungen zeigen und die Tomori „diese Kunst nicht verstehen, ebensowenig wie das „Festnieten einzelner Theile, wofür die Helme auch „Beispiele bieten. „Die messingenen Kopfbedeckungen welche wir „in Parigi trafen, stanunten von Ternate. „Sie sehen die Frage der Herkunft der Helme „ist noch in Dunkel gehüllt." Im Anschlusa an letztere Bemerkung gestatten wir uns den Hinweis darauf, dass die Herren Drs. A. B. Meyee & Osw. Richter, auf Grund von deren Unter- suchungen, die Auffassung erlangt haben dass die Helme altniederländischer Herkunft, im 17. Jahrhun- dert nach Indien gekommen sind, und zwar theils für aus Niederländern bestehende Suitanawachen be- stimmt (Abh. & Ber. des Kgl. Zool. und Anthr.-Ethn. Museums zu Dresden, 1900/01, Bd. IX N». 6, pg. 79). |
