Mats and Baskets as Containers, Conveyors, and Costumes
The gallery acknowledges and honors local basket and mat weavers in the different regions of the country. It highlights the significance of baskets and mats as part of both tangible and intangible Filipino cultural heritage through the different materials, techniques used, and the designs incorporated in them, as entwined in their functions as accessories and costumes, containers of both secular and sacred objects, and conveyors in fishing, agriculture, as well as in most daily activities.
