簡介: 台灣原住民的火藥罐多為獸角製成,火藥罐用以裝盛火藥,與火槍有關。火槍自漢人輸入,故火藥罐的形式和漢人昔日所用相似。漢人昔日的火藥罐有以牛角製成,因此在卑南族或排灣族所見,以堅實的木頭製作而成的仿牛角形式火藥罐,下端塞以木拴,上端則有筒形塞蓋。在器身上有百步蛇紋的鑲嵌,此紋飾明顯的是受到排灣族的影響。PuyumaGunpowder tubeEthnology卑南火藥筒原住民民族誌標本The power tubes used by Taiwan's aborigines were mainly made from animal horn.The powder tube was an accessory for firelock type guns.Guns were acquired from Han Chinese,so the powder tubes of the Han and aborigines are similar.
