| A silver breast disk ("platina") circa 1900-1940 from the Mandaya people of eastern Mindanao, Philippines. The disk measures 5.5 inches in diameter and is in excellent condition. It has the characteristic Mandaya geometric motifs etched on its convex face, similar to the designs on Mandaya cloth. The disk can be worn singly or as a collection, thus attesting to the wearer's economic status. (Please refer to the brochure,"Land of the Morning" by David Baradas, et. al., Plate 26 page 72 for a similar Mandaya silver breast disk). | ||
