Lumad
What influences the art of the ethnic groups in Mindanao?
The Lumads, just like other ethnic groups of Luzon and Visayas, are strongly
influenced by the Malayo-Polynesian arts. The influence is so strong that the places of
the Lumads look like they are provincial extensions of our southern and eastern
neighboring countries – Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Polynesians Islands.
The T’boli, for instance, wear clothing made of t’nalak, and adorn themselves
with bronze, brass, and golden armlets and leglets. They speak a Malayo-Polynesian
language.

What are the artworks of the T’boli of South Cotabato?


The T’boli’s are noted for using t’nalak as their clothing. The t’nalak distinctive and colorful clothing is a
major source of ethnic pride of the T’bolis. T’nalak is a red and beige designed clothing with various
geometrical shapes on the brown background.
The T’boli men wear circular hats while the women use combs, earrings, rings, and bracelets to adorn
themselves.
Tiruray
What are the art forms of the Tirurays?
The Tirurays occupy the Southwestern part of Mindanao. They weave
beautiful and strong baskets. Their craftmanship and skills in weaving are
comparable with the T’boli tribe of Lake Sebu in South Cotabato.
The Tirurays are also admired for their beautiful brass work for the heavy belts, chains, and noisy
anklets used by many of their women. They are also fond of wearing beaded elaborate clothing.

What’s New
Muslim Art Forms
What are some of the Muslims’ art forms?
Islamic traditions were first introduced to the Malays of the southern
Philippines in the 14th century. The dominant design in their artworks is okir and sarimanok. The design
tradition shows evidence of Indian and Isalmic influences. Both okir and sarimanok designs are used as
decorative elements in Muslim architecture.

What are the characteristics of the arts and crafts in some areas in Muslim Mindanao?
The artistry and fine craftsmanship of the Muslims who dwell in the western and central part of
Mindanao is no doubt an art form that Filipinos could be proud of. The Tausugs, Yakans, Maguindanaons, and
Maranaos trace their descent from the Indones-Malayo race.
What are some of the Muslim art forms?
1. Okir – a design that shows Indian and Islamic influences - Long curvilinear lines and arabesque
- Rendered in brass or hard wood
- Used as decorative elements in architecture
- Design is figurative using plants and animals

2. Sarimanok – a design of bird - Used as


holding a fish on its beak decoration

What are the artworks of the Tausug?


The Tausugs or Joloanos are sometimes called the sometimes called the “people of the current”. This
is because many of them live near bodies of water where they could do fishing.
The tausugs are the first tribe in the archipelago to be converted to Islam. They are historically
considered as the ruling people of the ancient Sultanate of Jolo. The Tausugs have their own version of
Torogan.
the artworks of the Maranao?
The Maranao are also considered the “people of the Lake”. This is because
many of them reside along the great Lanao Lake. Most of their arts and crafts were
patterened after okir or okkli. Okir design refers to the range of folk motifs, usually
of plants and geometric forms.
Other Filipino Isalmic arts are the burqa and the sarimanok. The buraq is a
winged horse with a head of a woman. This image relates to the
ascension Prophet Muhammad to heaven. The sarimanok, on the other hand, symbolizes
nobility and bravery.
The torogan is the ancestral home of the highest title holder in a Maranao village. It is
an important architectural structure in the community. It can easily be distinguished because of
its panolong – a carved beam that protrudes in the front of the house and is adorned with okir
motif.

The malong is a woven Maranao cloth. The malong is a popular garment


to both Muslim and non-Muslim Filipinos. It can function a s a skirt for men and
women, a dress, a blankety, a bedsheet, a hammock, a prayer mat, and other
purposes.

What are the artworks of the Maguindanao?


The Maguindanao are also called “people of the flood plain”. They live
in a flooded-prone area of the Cotabato Province, which is the catch-basin of
the mighty Rio Grande of Mindanao. They are also known for their skill in
weaving fine mats and baskets.

What are the artworks of the Yakans?


Aside from the Maranaos in the northernmost part of Mindanao, another group of
Muslims are the Yakans. They live in Sulu, Basilan, and Zamboanga. Their means of
livelihood is also mainly in agriculture and fishing. They are also known to be excellent
textile weavers. Their cotton and silk textiles are remarkably designed with various geometric shapes and
colors.
