Totob ( Tangkolo in the making)
Text
Name: Totob:- A white cloth, many sections of which are overtied with hemp. This is done so that when the cloth is put in the dye these sections do not become colored. After the overtying is removed white patterns appear in the red or chocolate field. See 128788 for cloth which has just been dyed in this manner. These cloths are used for the Magani's head-bands and for certain women under the guardianship of special deities. See notes under 128789. See an instrument called Bonowit that is used when tying. Fieldwork number: 870; Other names: Totob; Field Museum Catalogue Number: 128786 See a finished Tangkolo dyed in degrees of red here.

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.
