Branches of National Museum in Manila
National Museum of the Filipino People
The National Museum of the Philippines houses a lot of burial jars and wooden coffins (like the photo above). The skull-like artifacts are earthenware handcrafted in older ways by the ancient Filipinos. These items were discovered in different parts of the country. Like the wooden coffin discovered in one of the caves in Banton, Romblon. It is now part of the exhibit in the National Museum of the Filipino People.
This jar was discovered in a Neolithic burial site in Manunggul Cave of Tabon Caves in Lipuun Point, Palawan. It was used as a coffin in a primitive way of burial in the Philippines. It is now part of the exhibit in the Museum of the Filipino People.
