This original vintage travel poster is a rare and unique piece that was issued for the Dutch East Indies' tourism promotion of Sumatra Island.
This stunning poster showcases a colorful rendering of the Nias war dance, Fataele. The dance is a key part of the culture of the Nias people, an ethnic group native to the Indonesian island of Nias, located off the western coast of Sumatra.
The poster has some wear. It is heavily trimmed. Professionally mounted on linen for conservation.
