Paiwan pottery can be divided into male and female. Male pots have designs of the hundred-pace snake while female pots are decorated with nipples. Because the Paiwan tribe long ago lost techniques for making pots, contemporary artists such as Pavavalung must attempt to imitate ancient pots.
排灣族陶器分為公、母兩種，公陶上有百步蛇紋，母陶則飾以乳丁，因為排灣族製陶技術已經失傳，近年來有年輕藝術家撒古流等人，嘗試仿古製陶。
