Cordilleran Colors


found a woven cloth in the garage in a plastic bag with my brother's name on it...maybe it was a gift to him?  it was long, maybe 12 ft or so...

tried wearing it, came up with at least 3 ways to wear it...

This type of weaving is typically found in the Mountain Provinces of the Philippines...

From the boldness of the colors, lines, and patterns, I'd say the cloth was inspired by the feathers of fighting fowls...
