Description
Annotation translation: "The holy canon of Kota-Waringin village. This place is called 'Kerbau Tudur', the sleeping bull. Formerly the Dajaks were deeply frightened of this, and the Malays used it to gain great respect. Nowadays it is supposed to frighten away the inner enemies of Islam." Annotation: "Die Heilige Kanone von Kota-Waringin Dorf. Man nannte den Ort 'Kerbau Tidur', der schlafende Stier. Sie wird früher einmal der Schreck der Dajak gewesen sein, mit der sich die Malajer gewaltigen Respekt verschafften, heute aber soll sie 'inneren' Feinde der Mohammedaner selber verscheuchen." Stamped: "Museum der Basler Mission Basel, Missionsstrasse 21."
