Belt
Text
Name: Palakot- Belt of red cloth. Embroidered ends. Worn by men and women. Both men and women are fond of gaily colored garments. A few still make use of native fabrics but the greater part of the cloth, used for clothing, is secured in trade with the Chinese of the coast. Various colors are employed in a single garment - red, blue, and white being the favorite colors. These are worked together either in patchwork or embroidery, so as to make realistic or conventional designs, each with its definite name. The women wear little jackets, even when at work, and over these they often throw shoulder cloths similar to the head coverings of the men. Fieldwork number: 62; Other names: Palakot; Field Museum Catalogue Number: 128026

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.
