yuanzhumin, congrats and thanks for posting the pics and info!

i've read that in some southeast asian cultures, the sun god is sometimes represented by the bird symbol (or alternatively, that of a figure of a man).

am not sure if i've asked you before. but would the figure/s of a man in taiwanese aboriginal art be a representation, too, of the sun god? and can we find the bird motif in taiwan, just like taiwan's neighboring countries?

finally, what would be a good book that describes the meanings in taiwanese aboriginal art in general?

thanks in advance, and let me reiterate my appreciation for all of your posts which are quite informative to say the least. best wishes.
