Engraved Ornament probably made of from a tooth

3D ModelNoAI

牙雕飾品。此件文物利用貓科動物（推測為雲豹）犬齒雕出類似山豬的造型，目前在龜山遺址目前僅發現一件，十分珍稀，雕工相當精細。這類以貓科動物牙所製成的穿孔牙飾也見於現今排灣族的裝飾品，不僅反映龜山史前社群可能與現存排灣族共享早期南島語族之文化內涵，同時也展現龜山史前人群成熟的工藝技術及藝術風格。

Engraved Ornament probably made of from a tooth from Formosan Clouded Leopard (Neofelis nebulosa brachyura). This artifact is a carved canine of a big cat, likely clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa brachyura), made into a shape of a wild boar. It is a delicate piece and is a one of a kind discovery from the Gui-shan site. It demonstrates a developed tooth-working technology and a mature artistic style. Similar ornaments made of drilled teeth of big cats’ can be seen in the modern Paiwan tribe, reflecting the prehistoric Gui-shan communities may share the early Austronesian heritage with the concurrent Paiwan group.
