Summary[edit]

Description
English: Cuirass of a warrior - Baru oröba

Culture: Nias

Origin: Southeast Asia: Insular / Indonesia / Sumatera / Sumatera Utara (province) / Nias Islands / Nias (island) / Nias Selatan (regency) before 1931

49.7 x 36 x 22.9cm (19 9/16 x 14 3/16 x 9in.)

A textile jacket with long sleeves was worn under the cuirass. The circular ornaments are to protect the neck. Cuirasses were made of different materials: carabao leather, crocodile or anteater skin and rope. No cuirass made entirely of tin was found in the literature, but tin was found in combination with carabao leather.

Manufacture Helmets and cuirasses were made on Nias from iron tin, and petroleum cans were also used for this purpose. The tinwork was often colored partly black, partly yellow. The latter is possible to make it resemble the color gold.

Inventory number: TM-6402-1a

Material: tin (material) canning painting (image production) paint

Nederlands: Kuras van een krijger - Baru oröba

Cultuur : Nias

Herkomst : Zuidoost-Azië: Insulair / Indonesië / Sumatera / Sumatera Utara (provincie) / Nias-eilanden / Nias (eiland) / Nias Selatan (regentschap) voor 1931

49,7 x 36 x 22,9cm (19 9/16 x 14 3/16 x 9in.)

Onder het kuras werd een jak van textiel gedragen met lange mouwen. De cirkelvormige ornamenten zijn ter bescherming van de nek. Kurassen werden van verschillende materialen gemaakt: karbouwenleer, huid van een krokodil of miereneter en van touw. In de literatuur werd geen kuras gevonden geheel van blik gemaakt, wel blik in combinatie met karbouwenleer.

Vervaardiging Helmen en kurassen werden op Nias gemaakt van ijzerblik, hiervoor gebruikte men ook wel petroleumblikken. Het blikwerk werd vaak deels zwart, deels geel gekleurd. Dat laatste mogelijk om het op de kleur goud te laten lijken.
