content: Collector's notes, written on tag attached to object: [Probably] Rukai tribe, Taitung Hsein, Rainan-sha (village), Taiwan (SE Formosa). The item was purchased in Taitung city and said to be from the mountain area in the vicinity of Rainan-sha, west of Taitung City. It is known, however, that the Rukai people extend into the rainan-sha area. A shoulder-slung pouch...used for for daily necessities when on the move. Made of deerskin rawhide, with ramie embroidered stitch design-100 pacer snakeskin design on the shoulder loop, and what seems to be a modified traditional Chinese chain design and cloud forms on the main flap...This appears to be a really old item, possibly dating as early as the 18th to early 19th century.
