Hip scarf (Bayya-ung)
Text
Skirt for the gentleman, made of five parts: two mirror-image, rectangular side panels, a sewn-in central strip and two transverse bands on the narrow sides of the cloth, all in a chain-rib weave. The rectangular side panels are streaked with red, blue, green and yellow warp threads. For this purpose, white patterns (St. Andrew's crosses, angles, rectangles, rhombuses, etc.) are made on the blue stripes on the front of the cloth using alternating blue and white warp threads, while a fine white banding is visible on the back (chain technique). The central stripe is white and red striped lengthways and has a red and green pattern at the ends using the decorative technique. The transverse bands on the narrow sides have green and purple stripes in a chain pattern. According to Lamprecht (1958: 17-19, Fig. XII), the bayya-ung are originally garments of the wealthy.

Sensitive Content
Mapping Philippine Material Culture collates digital material from institutions, and some of this material is inherently colonial and contains words, terms and phrases that are inaccurate, derogatory and harmful towards Filipino and Filipino diasporic communities. Catalogue transcriptions, book titles, exhibition titles and museum titles may contain harmful terms. We recognise the potential for the material to cause physical and mental distress as well as evoke strong emotions. Owing to the scale of the collection’s data, a process to implement sensitive-content warnings in the displayed data is still incomplete. The material within the catalogue does not represent Mapping Philippine Material Culture’s views. Mapping Philippine Material Culture maintains a strong anti-colonial, anti-racist position and affirms its support for centring the humanity of historically marginalised and disenfranchised communities.
