| An embroidered woman’s blouse (called “bado”) from the Mandaya people of eastern Mindanao,Philippines circa the 1950s. The blouse is made of commercial red and dark blue cotton, densely embroidered at the back and along the upper sleeves in geometric motifs. The embroidery, so meticulous and precise, appears to form part of the weave itself. Measuring 16.5 inches from shoulder to hemline and 43 inches from cuff to cuff (sleeves outstretched), the blouse is in very good to excellent condition, with a repair of a tiny tear at the left armpit. Please refer to the exhibition catalog, "From the Rainbow's Varied Hue Textiles of the Southern Philippines" edited by Roy W. Hamilton, page 53 for a similar Mandaya blouse. | ||
