Manobo Bracelets and Anklets

You can tell a sugot (bracelet) from a sigkil (anklet) from their sizes.
The latter is normally bigger.

Sigkils go well with apol (tattoo).

Sugots may be made of nito, a native vine.

(Blogger's note: This post is part of a series on items that the Dulangan Manobo people traditionally use in their daily lives. Special thanks to the RNDM nuns assigned in Kulaman Plateau. For more information about the series, read my introductory post or click the label Delesan Menubo below.)
