Today, my Professor had this in class:
Known as "payong a diyakatan", a ceremonial umbrella used by the Maranaos (a group of people living in the Southern part of the Philippines".
I fell in love with the intricate details: the criss-cross of multi-colored beads and the use of old one centavo coins as accents.
The handle is made of wood which adds weight to the umbrella.
Interior detail of the embroidery.
"Sarimanok" pattern from the outside.
