"Idols and Ceremonial Weapons, Carib Tribe, Dutch Antilles, plate 70" is an illustration from the comprehensive historical work "Le Costume Ancien et Moderne" by the Italian author Giulio Ferrario, commonly known as Jules Ferrario. Published in the 1820s-1830s, this extensive series provides a detailed visual and written account of the customs, costumes, and cultures from around the world. The illustration in question, plate 70, specifically depicts the religious idols and ceremonial weapons associated with the Carib tribe of the Dutch Antilles.

The Carib people, also known as the Kalinago, were indigenous inhabitants of the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean. They were known for their skilled craftsmanship, particularly in the creation of tools and ceremonial items. The Dutch Antilles, a group of islands in the Caribbean Sea, were part of the colonial territories under Dutch control during the time of Ferrario's publication.

Vittorio Raineri, the artist and lithographer, was responsible for bringing Ferrario's vision to life in the form of detailed engravings that accompany the text. The illustrations in "Le Costume Ancien et Moderne" are considered valuable for their ethnographic significance and artistic merit, providing a window into the cultural practices and artifacts of various societies during the early 19th century.

"Idols and Ceremonial Weapons, Carib Tribe, Dutch Antilles, plate 70" is a significant historical document that not only offers insight into the material culture of the Carib people but also reflects the European interest in documenting and categorizing the customs of indigenous populations during the period of colonial expansion. The work is an important resource for historians, anthropologists, and art historians interested in the intersection of indigenous cultures and European colonial history.
