I would like to add another excellent reference, with hundreds of images, including the sun motif and weaponry.
Woodcarving of the Paiwan Group of Taiwan by Chen Chi-Lu (1961) Texts are in Chinese. |

Nicolas, many thanks!
If I may have a follow-up question, did the aboriginal Taiwanese believe in an Underworld where the snake or serpent was the chief deity, and in an Upperworld where the sun god was preeminent? Thanks again. Nonoy, thanks too! |

Saisiat knives
Sorry Nicolas, I don't know very much about Saisiat knives. They are possibly similar to Atayal knives. I don't remember having seen any in the published collections.
You are very generous; my collection is much smaller than yours. And blades are not at all my speciality. Meanwhile, to be polite, I will show you my two Rukai knives. |
