家屋簷木雕板(部分)
In Taiwan, indigenous peoples also construct their homes in harmony with the environment, using materials easily accessible in their surroundings. The Paiwan and Rukai people, who live in the southern mountainous regions, traditionally utilize slates naturally abundant in the area to build their houses. Notably, the houses of the nobility or chiefs are distinguished by elaborate wooden carvings that represent their family’s exceptional social status.
