2 The scene shows the sumptuous banquet hosted by VOC-commissioner Johannes Andreas Paravicini on 10 June 1756 after concluding an agreement with a host of rulers from Timor and adjacent islands. In the eyes of the Dutch VOC-authority was thereby reinstated, although Hägerdal argues that “the agreement may, in Timorese eyes, have been a confirmation of alliance akin to the traditional blood-oath, rather than a set of fixed regulations” (381).
