    MANOBO NECKLACES

    Bali-og, also spelled baliog, are traditional layered necklaces of various ethnic groups in the
    islands of Visayas and Mindanao in the Philippines. They consist of chokers and necklaces
    with a fringe of beads and other ornaments. More than one is usually worn, layered over
    each other. Their elements usually consist of metal or glass beads, hollowed seeds, seashells,
    mother-of-pearl, and copper or brass ornaments.

    Among the various Lumad peoples of Mindanao, particularly the inter-related Manobo
    groups, bali-og are bead necklaces composed chokers and necklaces fastened around the
    neck. A fringe of more beads and other ornaments (including copper or brass bells, amulets,
    and shells) are then attached to the lower edge of the chokers. The wearing of beadrk among
    the various Manobo tribes is culturally very important. The number, colors, and patterns vary
    by tribe and by status. The largest type of bali-og is a women's necklace known as ginibang.
    Its name means "monitor lizard" due to the resemblance of the patterns to monitor lizard
    scales.[1][2][3]
