Dyak Chief

The glass slide of #170 Dyak Chief is available in our Borneo photo gallery. This photograph was probably taken by Canon Spencer on a glass lantern slide plate while visiting one of his missionary children ministering in Borneo. The people back home in Canada were fascinated by these photos of other peoples in different parts of the World and especially of the aboriginal peoples there where Christian Missionaries worked. The Dyak Chief dressed in traditional attire in this Borneo Photo appears to be holding a club and a shield. We lost many of the details of these customs and attire with the infiltration of Western Colonial Powers.✞
