Does anyone know of any print references for the appearance of Indonesian warriors from the Dutch East Indies/colonial period? I have great references for weapons of the archipelago but not much on the dress of warriors.

I'm sure there is at least one article in Savage & Soldier. I'm on my kindle at the moment but can look on the pc tomorrow.

You could also google Dyak or Dayak warriors, this will get you several references.

Dayak warriors are avery limited area group. Tiger minis do better and wider usage figs.

Photographed these at an exhibition on Raffles' occupation of Java a couple of months back. Good for the first couple of decades of the 19th Century I reckon.
