Earring
Text
5 brass ear ornaments, dinumug, joined together by thread. There appear to be two pairs of similar form but differing in size, made of a strip of beaten brass, formed into a quasi circle, wider at the ends which do not quite meet, and each of which each has an inward pointing tooth. A third is similar in shape apart from being squared off opposite the ends, with a bar across. Black thread has been wrapped round the ornament opposite the openings. See figure 203 and 204 in in Rodgers, Susan. Power and Gold: Jewelry from Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. Third edition 1995. Geneva: Barbier-Mueller Museum. In the same book see photograph on page 240 where similar ornaments are being worn as pendants on a neck chain.

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.
