My hometown named its annual festival after the solok, but the Manobo basket I like most
is the kelepi, shown in this photo. To
know the different types of Manobo baskets, check out my post the previous
Friday.
I failed to properly identify this bag displayed
in Delesan Menubo. Among my list of Manobo baskets, the description of a kampilu is the closest to this bag:
“oval, vine, tightly woven, large.” This bag, though, is made of reed instead
of vine. Based on the description, a kampilu should look like a huge kelepi, but
I didn’t see any such basket in the display room. Thus, for now, I’m calling
this object a kampilu.
