 WHAT ARE
A SCULPTURES?
sculpture is a branch of the visual arts
that operates in three dimensions. It is one
of the plastic arts. Durable sculptural
processes originally used carving and
modeling, in stone, metal, ceramics, wood,
and other materials but, since Modernism,
there has been almost complete freedom of
materials and processes.
 EXAMPLES OF
ManunggulSCULPTURES
Jar
The Manunggul Jar is a secondary
burial jar excavated from a Neolithic
burial site in the Manunggul cave of the
Tabon Caves at Lipuun Point in
Palawan, Philippines. It dates from
890–710 B.C. and the two prominent
figures at the top handle of its cover
represent the journey of the soul to the
afterlife.
 Maitum Jar
The Maitum anthropomorphic burial jars
are earthenware secondary burial vessels
discovered in 1991 by the National
Museum of the Philippines' archaeological
team in Ayub Cave, Barangay Pinol,
Maitum, Sarangani Province, Mindanao,
Philippines. The jars are anthropomorphic;
characterized by a design that suggests
human figures with complete or partial
facial features of the first inhabitants of
Mindanao. Furthermore, they give
emphasis to the Filipinos’ popular belief of
life after death.
 T’boli wood carving, Brass casting, and poetry
The T’boli, the indigenous people of Lake
Sebu in the highlands of South Cotabato,
Mindanao, design the abaca tie-dyed
t’nalak textile. The t’nalak are woven
dreams. Its tie-dye patterns are handed
from mother to daughter, or bestowed on
the weaver in dreams by Fu Dalu, the
female spirit of the abaca. Like the
t’nalak, the artist tries to preserve the
original nature of the material as much as
possible, as shown by the undyed threads
and the feel of the finished product.
