Banton Burial Cloth | N/A | National Cultural Treasure, National Museum | Laguna Copperplate Inscription – it was reported that the plate was discovered in the delta of the Pangasinan River in Laguna Province in 1986. The area is known as ancient grave site where gold ornaments, stone tools, bronze images porcelains, potteries and other artifacts were found. It is a thin copper plate with ten lines of small script characters that are impressed on one side. This rare artifact was studied by Dr. Antoon Postma and Dr. Johannes de Casparis. According to them, the main language of the copper plate is an old Malay but the text is sprinkled with Sanskrit, old Javanese and old Tagalog terms. Flying Elephant Porcelain Dish – one of the only two pieces recovered in the world, the Elephant Dish is made of porcelain with black and brown specks visible in the paste. On the central medallion is the flying elephant design painted in dark blue against a background of stormy and foaming waves. This is a rare representation of an elephant in early historic art. Lotus scrolls with pointed leaves and a classical scroll designs are on the cavetto and rim. On the reverse side are lotus scroll between two blue lines and little clouds on the rim. The foot is surrounded by two dark cobalt blue line designs. The base is flat and unglazed with radial and circular lines. De Morga’s Gold Seal – collected by underwater archaeologists at the San Diego Wreck Site off the Fortune Island, Nasugbu, Batangas. This gold seal is oval on which aheraldic devise has been engraved in the negative. A thick collar is fused onto the plate. It is unique and the only one in the world. Bronze Astrolabe – the astrolabe consists of a bronze disc, a ring at the top by which they are suspended, and a counter weight of the bottom to stabilize them. At the center of the disc, there is a pivoting pointer, alidade, which is equipped with two plates or sight pieced by a hole. This one of the two known existing astrolabe in the world. Calatagan Vessel with Syllabic Script – Earthenware with Tagalog writing inscribed around the shoulder excavated in Calatagan, Batangas; associated with the 15th-16th century trade wares from South China and Thailand. This is one of the objects from a pre-Spanish archaeological site with syllabic writing, which shows that the Filipinos were literate long before their contact with the Western World. Yuan Underglaze Red Vase – underglaze and red glaze with a poem inscribed in Chinese calligraphy, recovered from Northeastern Mindanao, Southern Philippines. This is the second of only two Yuan pieces inscribed with a poem; the other specimen is with the British Museum. Tabon Flake Tools – the stone tools were recovered in the old stone stage layer in the tabon cave by Dr. Robert Fox in 1962. Made from chert, these tools were associated with the earliest human remains so far recovered in the Philippines. During the Paleolithic Period, flake tools were produced by a percussion technique in which stone hammer was used to strike the core. These flake tools served as knives, scrapers and other cutting implements. Most of the flake tools recovered in Tabon Cave were made from highly-selected stone materials like chert, a hard cryptocrystalline quartz. Tabon Mandible – the earliest evidence of human remains showing archaic characteristics of the mandible and teeth dating back to about 30,000 years ago. Tabon Tibla – the bone was recovered at Tabon Cave during the re-excavationof the said cave in 2000 by Mr. Alfredo B. Orogo, archaeologist of the National Museum. The bone was identified as human by the zooarchaeologist of the NM, Mr. Angel P. Bautista and was sent to National Museum of Natural History in Paris, France for more detailed study. Accelerated carbon dating technique was applied to this bone that revealed a dating of 47,000 =-/11,000 years ago. At present, this is the earliest human remain belonging to modern man, Homo sapiens sapiens. Manunggul Shell Scoop – at the early phase of Philippine Prehistory, early inhabitants in the Quezon area did not only use mollusks as source of food. The protective shells of mollusks were also utilized as raw materials in the manufacture of utensils or implements. This was made possible by the development of human skills such as sawing, drilling and polishing the shells about 3,000 years ago. Taken from a turbine shell, the Manunggul shell spoon is a concave utensil with a sharp point at one end and a figure at the other end. The latter has a right extremity that forms to what appears and the head are missing. The outer surface of the body whorl near the figure has an angular shoulder. Shell Adze – manufactured from the hinge line of giant clam (tridacna gigas), the shell adze was found associated with a Neolithic burial assemblage in Duyong Cave, Quezon, Palawan. This shell tool is similar to the shell adzes recovered in Micronesia and Ryuku Islands in Okinawa, Japan. Shells were used as tools in the Pacific as a replacement for hard stones which were not available on the islands. The presence of shell adzes not only in Palawan but also in Tawi-Tawi is very significant in the study of movements of people from the insular Southeast Asia to the Pacific. Used as implement during the Neolithic of the Philippines, the shell adze could be the prototype of shell adzes found in the Pacific. Leta-Leta Jarlet with Yawning Mouth – the jarlet is one of the several pieces of pottery recovered by Dr. Robert Fox during his explanatory work in Leta-Leta Cave, Northern Palawan in 1965. It is an anthropomorphic vessel depicting a yawning mouth. The jarlet is unique and earliest pot recovered in the Philippines. Maitum Anthropomorphic Burial Jar – the burial jar was recovered in Ayub Cave, Pinol, Maitum, Sarangani Province. Inside the jar are tiny bone fragments and deciduous human tooth indicating that the jar was used for the burial of a young individual. Unique in being the only intact anthropomorphic burial jar with two arms, nipples, navel and a figure of male sex organ on the body found in an archaeological context. The head is unpainted and with perforations on the lid that show side parting of the hair. Its lips are colored with red hematite and accented with an incised design. It has also two ear lugs on the lower half on the urn. Maitum non-Anthropomorphic Burial Jar – this is a quadrangular jar with four ear lugs on the body and intricate scroll design emanating from a single trunk. The cover of the burial jar has a crown-like embellishment on top like birds’ head coming together. This jar has curvilinear scroll designs such as free hand painting of Tree of Life and cloud motifs. This is the earliest record of cloudf design on pottery. Earthenware Jar with Cover and Design – the jar is unique with incised decoration. The design is more free-flowng that involved scroll and geometric designs on the cover and body. Lingling-O – the Lingling-O is the diagnostic ornament of the Early Metal age in the Palawan. Several ear pendants were found in Uyaw, Rito-Fabian and Duyong Caves in Palawan by Dr. Robert Fox in the 1960’s. these distinctive ear pendants appeared for the first time in the Early Metal Age. In the later periods, archaeological records reveal that the pendants were duplicated in stone and shell. The projection of the linglling-O ear pendants appears to have been derived from the stylized bud design resulting in a simple point with concave side. Another type of lingling-O is the double-headed pendant found in Duyong Cave. This is the most distinctive jade ornament with zoomorphic design; and a superb and beautifully proportioned example of an ancient carving jade. Bolinao Gold Skull – One of the significant information gathered in the archaeological excavation of Balingasay Site, Bolinao, Pangasinan s the beautiful and ornate method of decorating the teeth with gold. In this site, teeth with gold ornaments were found in 67 skulls that were associated with tradeware ceramics attributed to Early Ming Dynasty (ca. 15th century A.D.). One of the skulls is the renowned Bolinao skull where gold scales were observed on the buccal surfaces of the upper and lower incisors and canines. The gold decorations on the teeth are like tiny nails with flat rounded tops or heads and placed in a bored hole on the teeth, overlapping one another, like fish scales. The dental ornamentation consists of pegging with gold plates in fish scale design or pattern and pegged with gold wire rivets. Oton Gold Death Mask – collected in Oton, Ilo-ilo, this is the first gold death mask recovered systematically by archaeologists, a rare piece. Banton Cloth – two pieces of Banton cloth were found associated with coffin burial by Filipino archaeologist, Mr. Alfredo P. Evangelista during his exploratory work in Banton Island, Romblon Province. This is the oldest textile associated with Yuan ceramic tradeware. | ||||
