mountain.

black fibers.

them Igorots but they prefer
the first name. their arts and
culture revolves around rice.
The Ifugaos weave a loincloth

Indonesian term, meaning to bind
together. Their motif is

white and red stripes. The dominant
color is blue.

weavers. They are also known for
amulets that are made of beads,
gold, bronze and other materials.
This amulets are called lingling-o
or dinumug used as fertility symbols
and worn around the neck.

mummies, Benguet mummies, kabayan mummies and many more
names.
The province is also known for their
kadangyan burial cloth for rich people.

Tattoo art is another form of folk arts in Mountain


Province. Tattoo is part of clothing and is considered
decoration.

The people of Bontoc are also great


weavers.
