Hello,
I found this nice picture of a Paiwan sheath in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (pic.1). In their collections, there is also a house post from the Yami tribe. In the Louvre museum in Paris, they have a beautiful 3 m house post from the Paiwan tribe (pic.2), but no weapons from them. In the Barbier-Mueller Museum in Geneva, they have few knives, tunics and panels from different Formosan tribes. There are also quite big collections in Japanese museums. Apart this, do you know any other museums in the world that would have taiwanese tribal weapons or other artifacts in their collections (except Taiwan) ? Thanks for your help.
