Bamboo Tube. with Mangyan Inscriptions RJM 18460
(Annotated: As a result of a workshop, the inscription has been determined to be Tagbanwa from the Central region of Palawan - and not Mangyan. And because of its closer affinity to the scripts recorded by Marche (1887) and Marcilla y Martin (1895), and not Romuladez (1914) the RJM dating of the vessel has been confirmed - Myfel Paluga, Asso. Prof from Mindanao State University, Ooctober 2021).
For more detailed information about the transcription and the translation, please refer to this workshop's supplementary paper by Myfel D. Paluga (MDP) and Andrea Malaya M. Ragragio (AMR).

Provenance
Lot Number 190618. Georg Küppers-Loosen. Georg Küppers-Loosen (1860-1910) was a Cologne entrepreneur and traveller. He was a board member of the Cologne Department of the German Colonial Society, the Cologne Art Museum Society and the Musical Society. In 1887 he took over the flourishing business founded by his father in 1856, providing him with financial means. With his patronage, he supported various Cologne cultural institutions. He was particularly attached to the Rautenstrauch-Joest Museum. Küppers-Loosen was co-founder and for many years vice-chairman of the "Society of Ethnology for the Promotion of the Rautenstrauch-Joest Museum of the City of Cologne" and donated an extensive collection of ethnographica and photographs to the museum. Although he was a prominent member of Cologne's society at the end of the 19th / beginning of the 20th century, we do not know much about him and his collecting activities. For now RJM believes that he did actually travel to the Philippines himself from where he also brought some items. There is no further information on his travels, routes or ways of collecting so far.

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.
