Introduction

　　The attire of Paiwan aristocrats and ordinary people was clearly different. Glass beads, ceramic buttons, leopard teeth, eagle feather, human figure and Deinagkistrodon acutus patterns were exclusive to chief or aristocrats. The decorative shoulder strap was an item exclusive to the elite.
　　Paiwan shoulder straps were decorated in various ways, featuring rare shells, white ceramic buttons, bronze coins and bronze strips, all meant to display wealth and position.
