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.

This exquisitely crafted knife, known as “Barong”, is a weapon commonly used by Muslim-Filipino ethnolinguistic groups like the Tausugs and Sinama/Yakan.

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 |
