HAND-CRAFTED IN TAIWAN
Handmade red, yellow, black, green diamond totem pattern wrapped wooden hoop earrings. “Atjuvi” means Snake in Pinayuanan, one of the Austronesian languages spoken by the Paiwan Indigenous people from the island of Taiwan.
With Taiwan being an island, indigenous tribes often use natural material like shells and wood to create their jewelries, mimicking natural elements like waterfall, the ocean, and animals. The Hundred Pacer Snake is a sacred animal in Paiwan’s ancient myth, telling the creation of the world and the first human being, the diamond patterns are often used for ceremonial clothes and accessories to resemble the snake’s diamond patterned skin.
