MANDAYA DAGMAY
The material is dyed in mud and
organic roots, woven by hand, with
designs revolving around man and
crocodile.
Each piece of dagmay cloth is
unique, an individual artistic
expression as it is evidence of
a tradition passed on through
generations.
Amazing fact
Such is the sacredness
of the weave that the
Mandaya people wrap
their dead in it.
