I'd like to attract your attention on an excellent website, the Warner Collections of Taiwan Images. These are old images of Taiwan gathered by Gerald Warner, an american consul in Taiwan, at the end of the 30s and beginning of the 40s, that were recently archived, put on line and commented by the professor Paul Barclay of the Lafayette College (TKS again, Paul, for doing this great work !).
Here is the link to the photos showing aboriginal weapons :

Don't miss also the other photos of Taiwan. There are dozens and dozens depicting the aborigines and the life on the island at the end of the cJapanese colonial time.

I wish a Happy Chinese New Year to all of you ! Hope this Year of the Tiger will be fruitful !
