Introduction

本館收藏的卑南族的裙有分為男用及女用兩種

  The museum has skirts worn by men and women in its collection. The one worn by men is the butan worn by young men. The young men would have a different kind of skirt for every year of their age.
  In the two years of the malaneka period they would wear a black skirt; in the third year they would wear a flower pattern edged cloth which would be wrapped around the lower body sarong style.
  In the first year of the malatawan period, they would wear a blue flower pattern edged cloth skirt. In the second year this would have a white edge. When they entered warrior age they would wear a plain blue cloth.
  Women had three kinds of skirt: one was the dubil that was worn before the age of 13. After the age of 13 they would also wear a knee length labit over the dubil. Older women would wear a sugun wraparound skirt over their blue or black three quarter length trousers.
