    ART APPRECIATION

    ACTIVITY 1

    NAME: MARYKNOLL UY

    A. Description of the artwork, product or artist.

    Product Name: Tingkep/Tingkop Basket


    Shop Location: Marina De Bay
    Price: Php 150.00
    Color: Brown & Black
    Composition: Bamboo & Rattan
    Dimensions: Height = 6 inches, Width = 3 ½ inches

    B. How does this product or artifact express the Filipino concept of art?

    A famous traditional basket made by the “Palaw’an Tribe”. It is one of the unique heritage art and
    craft original in Palawan and mostly seen in the mountains of the south and used to store rice, carry
    food, or even store treasured possessions. Tingkep/Tingkop is also used by healers during a ritual
    called “kundu” to house the spirit of Linamen, a beautiful and powerful female spirit. This woven
    basket is slowly gaining popularity among tourist, which serves as another source of profit for the
    tribe.

    It is made from soft woven strips of “buldong”, “binsag” and “busnig” varities of bamboo, held
    together by rattan frame which gives it shapes and provides sturdiness.

    This product is more than a basket, the Tingkep/Tingkop is a reflection of the life and culture of the
    Palaw’an, an indigenous community of the Philippines. This handicraft combines the artwork of
    humans and their forest. Sadly, now that there are threats to the Forest of Palawan Island, the
    Palawan people are also threatened by the potential loss of their homes and their traditions.
