臺灣南部六堆地區的客家人稱祖先牌位為「祖牌」或「阿公婆牌(a'gung' pov panv)」，奉祀在伙房正廳或祖堂、祠堂。客家祖牌是合祀歷代祖先的，兩旁按昭穆順序記述世系繁衍，使子孫可以明宗支、正本源。祖牌象徵著客家人對祖先的崇拜與信仰，供奉歷代祖先的客家大祖牌更顯示客家人的宗親凝聚力比較強烈。近代由於社會結構變遷，客家人的傳統核心價值，包括祖先崇拜、傳統信仰等觀念漸泯，希望透過訪談、拍攝祖牌工藝匠師，完整詳實的記錄客家文化資產並數位化，以提供後續文化維護與知識傳承。客家祖牌的特殊性除了家族脈系傳承，同時也涵蓋了祖牌雕刻工藝的圖紋裝飾與藝術。本文主要通過對6位工藝匠師的訪談，以瞭解臺灣傳統客家祖牌各部位的構成、形式與作法，並針對各匠師對傳統祖牌市場的普遍看法，解讀匠師為祖牌而設計的創作思想、對傳統祖牌市場的期待和所關心的問題。祖牌是客家頗具特色的工藝品，結合雕刻、漆工、彩金、木工、書法、彩繪等工藝，祖牌不僅是客家精神文化的表現，更兼具保存傳統工藝的價值，然而祖牌傳統技藝日趨式微，祖牌產業即將沒落凋零，是以關注這項傳統工藝，探究工藝匠師製作祖牌的過程，提昇工藝品質，強化客家人的家族意識與增加產銷管道乃是當務之急。
