Not a Swordfish (which has no teeth), this is a Sawfish bill. A shallow water cartilaginous fish it would sometimes be encountered by fishermen in these tropical waters.

A woman from Lamalera, Lembata, E Indonesia, is carrying slabs of whale blubber in a turtle shell up to her house. The blubber is dried and the oil collected for lamps and other uses or else traded at nearby barter markets. She is wearing an ikat sarong most probably woven and dyed by herself from locally grown hand-spun cotton. Women still weave in the village but nowadays cheap batik sarongs are more common.
