Skirt Woman's, Sonod

Maroon, natural and brownish-black stripes and design. 2 loom pieces joined at side selvage and warp ends to make a tubular skirt. The 2 loom pieces, called "Bata" have wider design band where they are joined at selvage. This makes skirt appear like the more conventional ones (comprised of 3 loom pieces, central one "ine", is a different design from 2 "Bata" borcles. In this case the "ine" is omitted). Wp ends: cut and joined. (From card catalogue notes by Laura Watson Benedict(1861–1932) and Lisa Whitall (1926-2019), 1905)

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.
