Headpiece
Text
Headdress for unmarried man. A small wicker basket with three red ribbons laid around as decoration. Two wild boar teeth are attached to the basket as are two bundles of feathers. Donor writes: "The hat I am sending is worn by the unmarried men. The card shows how the hat is worn by a married man. When a man marries, he removes the wild boar teeth and hangs them on the belt as the picture shows." (Photo archive 684: c). In the middle of the basket a metal button sewn with the text "BUTTONS .. B'HAM".
The object comes from the Bontoc area on Luzon, where there are still primitive Igorots, which, according to Lidvall, is still the primarily hunters.

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.
