Introduction Enggano Island, west of Sumatra in Indonesia, has often fascinated both Western and Indonesian scholars, but at the same time the island has never been systematically studied. This web publication brings together some information on Enggano and makes it available to a wider audience.
We will focus our attention on the Enggano collection of the Rijksmuseum voor Volkenkunde, although the information given will place this collection in a wider context. The information presented here is based on a study of published [1] and unpublished [2] sources, museum collections and a short piece of field-work [3] on Enggano in 1994. | |
