簡介: 館藏的背袋有檳榔袋與網袋兩種形制,兩者的使用功能十分不同。檳榔袋,在南王稱「aliut」,知本稱「rafa」,內裝菸、錢及檳榔等,兼具裝飾和實用的功能,成年「maidan」以上的男子才可配戴。而網袋似乎不是卑南族傳統的物件,在背負工具上,卑南族多用背簍,因此推測此物可能為在文化接觸過程中所習得的作法。PuyumaRucksackEthnology卑南背袋原住民民族誌標本In the museum collection there are two kinds of rucksack. The first is a betel nut bag, the other is like the Bunun tribe's net bag.The uses of the two kinds of bags were very different. In Nanwang betel nut bags are called aliut, in Zhiben rafa. They were used to carry tobacco, money and betel nuts etc and had both practical and decoration functions.Only men over maidan age could use such bags. It seems that the net bag was not a traditional Puyuma tribe object, most of their carrying tools were back carried baskets, therefore it is estimated the tribe learned how to make such bags in cultural exchange with other people.
