Panel made of Piña

Ground fabric: spaced tabby weave pina (pineapple fiber) cloth. Embroidery: cotton thread in padded satin, overcast and buttonhole stitches, flat long-and-short and stem stitches, and pulled fabric work oversewn with decorative fillings. The unfinished panel worked along two sides and for a short distance along the other two sides with a scalloped edge. Within each scallop is a leafy spray. Flanking one worked edge is a vertical motif of grasslike stems, leaves, and small flowers. Eight hollylike leaves. The scalloped edges have not been trimmed back to the embroidery.

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.
