Photograph by Oskar Speck depicting a bird's eye view of a village

  I suspect that this photo is of Lamalera, Lembata, E Indonesia. The church looks very similar to the current larger church but without the steeple. It may have been enlarged since the photo was taken. I have not been able to find any information about this. The surrounds look appropriate for Lamalera.

  The picture shows a woven palm leaf sail belonging to a Peledang (or Tena) fishing boat from Lamalera, Lembata, East Indonesia. It is being repaired. In the foreground are logs which are used to facilitate the launching/beaching of the boats as they are pushed out to sea across the black volcanic sand beach, or back up the beach into their boatsheds when they return mid-afternoon.

  Part of the bow of a Peledang (or Tenâ) from Lamalera, Lembata, E Indonesia. The village is Catholic, and being a fishing village, it has St Peter as its patron saint. The word 'Christ' can be made out painted on the hull, along with an eye at the front. The villagers believe that boats have a spirit and need eyes to see where they are going when out at sea. What can also be seen is a section of large diameter bamboo, part of the Hamma Lollo (Harpooner's platform) which extends forward of the bow and from which the harpooner launches the harpoon and himself toward the big sea game or whale they are hunting.
