Happy Independence Day!
NSSP shares this stone from the Ilocos region which is guarded by the “Sarimanok”. The Sarimanok is a legendary bird which has, in recent times, come to symbolize the Filipino People. Like the Sarimanok, let us always defend our lands and value our freedom! Mabuhay tayong lahat! Stone and accessories are part of the Artisté Museum owned by Anthony Gedang #NSSP #PhilippineIndependence #ArtistéMuseum

Today, we feature Mindanao’s viewing stone and culture
This exquisitely crafted knife, known as “Barong”, is a weapon commonly used by Muslim-Filipino ethnolinguistic groups like the Tausugs and Sinama/Yakan. It is displayed alongside a mountain stone that hails from Davao. Note the lighter color of the stone that’s usually associated from that area.

What is the best name for this week’s viewing stone? This beautiful stone came from Japan! Stone and accessory is part of the collection of Anthony Gedang #NSSP #ContemporaryJune What is the story you see from this display?
This viewing stone is from the Ilocos region. Both stone and the painting are part of the collection of Anthony Gedang #NSSP #IlocosStone #ContemporaryJune #PhilippineStoneSeries Remember the stones we posted last Tuesday?
We know you tried hard to guess where they came from! Worry no more, here is the complete list of each viewing stone’s provenance! Ilocos stones usually either come from the Amburayan river or beaches in northern Philippines. They are usually rounded and have smooth texture. Some even have metallic properties (i.e. metallic sound, magnets latch on them). Rizal stones usually come from Tanay and is known for their very deep black color and rugged look. Lastly, Davao stones are similar to Tanay stones but tend to have lighter color #NSSP #PhilippineStoneSeries #IlocosStone #RizalStone #DavaoStone Sharing a #VietnamStone that was acquired by Anthony Gedang a few years ago.
