The mythical symbolism of birds in
Philippine folk literature is closely
related to origins and creation

The Manunggul jar portrait is on
the 1000 Philippine peso bill.
The style of decoration (depiction
of sea-waves) places this jar in
the Sa-huýnh-Kalanay Pottery
tradition of Southern Vietnam.

dropped due to the absence of the word in
