The basak (necklace) of
Manobos is made normally of beads and tiny brass bells and sometimes of animal
teeth.
Another sample of a basak worn by Manobo women.
Men rarely wear necklaces, and when they do, theirs are usually much simpler.
Not all basaks are large and flashy. I bought
these simple ones for some friends.
