Carvings depicted ancestral spirits and gods, while pots were shaped for practical uses. Weavings incorporated traditional designs and served various functions. Ornaments demonstrated social status, fertility, and cultural identity. Together, these art forms embodied the deep connections between indigenous Filipinos and the natural world.

    Philippine Indigenous Arts

    Prepared By: Ms. Rosalia C. Rosario


    Ancient and pre-Spanish Era:
    It is believed that the first inhabitants of the Philippines arrived
    over many thousands of years ago. It is commonly thought that
    they migrated over a land bridge, which existed at that time, from
    the Asian mainland.
    The next known inhabitation is when the Negrito or Aeta arrived
    in the islands. However, they were driven back by several waves
    of immigrants from Indonesia, only to be followed by the maritime
    peoples of the Malayan islands.
    Philippine Indigenous Arts

    • Sculpture /Carving
    • Pottery
    • Weaving
    • Physical ornaments
    Sculpture is three-dimensional artwork created by
    shaping or combining hard materials, typically
    stone such as marble, metal, glass, or wood, or
    plastic materials such as clay, textiles, polymers
    and softer metals.
    Carving is one of the techniques used in
    sculpture.

    figures of the Ifugaos:
    these represent their
    ancestral spirit and
    granary gods.

    THE HARVEST
    Ifugao sculpture
    Sarimanok

    Shown above are the most well-known of the old designs, the sarimanok. The
    figure represents a fowl with wings, feathered tail, and a head decorated with
    ornaments of scrolled and painted motif of leaves, spirals, and feather-like
    forms. It usually stands on a fish and another one hangs from its beak. The
    wooden figure, usually perched atop a bamboo pole, stands among
    decorative flags during weddings and other festive occasions.
    Ang Hagabi ay isang upuang kahoy ng mga Ifugao na sumisimbolo
    sa panlipunang katayuan ng isang mamamayan. Ito ay nagpapakita
    ng yaman at kapangyarihan ng may-ari nito na kadalasan ay isang
    Kadanagyan o isang taong nabibilang sa mataas na antas sa
    lipunan. Ito ay sa kadahilanang tanging ang mga mayayaman
    lamang ang may kakayahang mag pagawa nito kasama na ang ritwal
    na ipinagdiriwang sa oras na matapos ang pagbubuo nito.
    Ang hagabi ay isang upuang kahoy na gawa sa narra o ipil. Ang orihinal
    na anyo nito ay tinatawag na ginulgulding na ang ibig sabihin ay "kagaya
    ng kambing", sapagkat sa dalawang dulo ng upuan ay mayroong nakaukit
    na animo'y ulo ng kambing. Sa kasalukuyan ang hagabi ay may iba't iba
    nang anyo - ang isang dulo nito na tinatawag na ngiwi ay kagaya na ng
    ulo ng isang hayop na may mahabang ilong at dalawang malalaking
    tainga.

    clay, then hardened by baking. Pottery includes
    both decorative and practical items such as

    Pottery in the Philippines varies in forms and
    functions. The forms of the pots are directly
    influenced by the functions of the pots and the
    tradition of the community/local area.
