The ‘black house’ or palace of Lookeu is situated in Atambua district of West Timor and is a part of the five traditional kingdoms of Koba Lima. The original Lookeu palace site is in Fatumean in the mountains of Timor-Leste. Symbolically and historically, Koba Lima refers to a sacred geography involving a coalition of five Tetun-speaking mountain kingdoms in the areas along the borders of Timor Leste and Indonesian West Timor. These kingdoms are Fatumea, Dakolo, Lookeu, Sisi and Mau Demu (see map). Initially there was only the kingdom of Fatumea, then a coalition was formed by three brothers called Uma Tolu (uma = house, tolu = three) and consisting of Fatumea, Lookeu and Dakolo. Fatumea, Lookeu and Dakolo are fertility-giving sacred houses (uma mane) for fertility-taking sacred houses (feto sawa) Sisi and Mau Demu. A political coalition of Koba Lima (koba = basket, lima = five) was formed based on these inter-marriage relationships (text written by Balthasar Kehi).
