Fencers and women in Moluco Those fencers in the Moluccian island Bakeleyers wear a wolfsbane with a parrot on top and decorated instead of a feather bush those when fencing against each other stand just on one foot at all times for the advantage that when one of them makes a step forward the other one can step back this jumping that they do to and away from each other is very amusing to watch because at all times they jump back and forth on one foot their clothing is a cotton tunic with a cotton or silk pant very wide at the bottom. Those are Moluccian women with a cotton sheet over their head/ covered for the sun their clothes are also cotton/ in a great variety of colors. Their buckets with which they get water are big sugar cane stalks measuring 1 ½ Klaffter (56 centimeters) they fill them with water place them on their armpits and carry them home. |
