Kandit or Kambot

Silk Turban Pre-1938

London Co-curation workshop (November 12, 2023:

Called people of the current - (13 tribes). This item is used by a warrior. One can identify the leader/warrior by the type of head scarf worn.

This may have been an award from the Sultan as the length of the piece ( 7 metres) is rare and shows it was owned by a VIP.
If someone was going to war with this, it is used ti protect the head and the waist. But it can also be used as a bandage for wounds in war.

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.
