Spoon

Inventory number: 042847
The ethnicity of the producers or previous owners is indicated in the inventory books as "Igorots", a term that is now considered derogatory and was used for various indigenous groups in the Cordillera region of Luzon. We do not know what these spoons were once used for and unfortunately they can no longer be assigned to any particular group or region.

Provenance
William P. Wilson, Professor at the University of Pennsylvania, explored the world exhibition in Chicago and found the construction of a long -standing world exhibition museum in the interest of international trade. He bought a large piece of the World Exhibition's exhibition for a new "Commercial Museum" in Philadelphia, which opened four years later. However, these museums were similar to those of Graf von Linden in Stuttgart, founded by the Linden Museums, which were first assembled in 1889 and funded by the Württembergischen Association for Geography. Wilson falls from Linden to a meeting between two houses. Following the conquest of the Philippines by the United States, the US-led Wilson, together with Gustav Niederlein, joined the members of a curate for the preparation of a Philippine exhibition for the world exhibition from 1904, in which a public justice was awarded the "mission" to the United States. . They see Cordillers and members of other indigenous groups in a Völkerschau and send them to the visitors of the world exhibition rituals and dances. Wilson had already learned that the leaders of the Kuratorium, however, later left again, that the government was not satisfied with his work. He could, however, secure some exhibits for his museum and his exchange partners, including the graph of Linden. This object sent Wilson Graf von Linden at the end of the exhibition.

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.
