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.
(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.)
