Dear Museum-listers --

I am trying to track down information on a Philippine man's garment in our
collections.  It was obtained in the 1930s on the Island of Mindanao, near
Mt. Apo.

The ikat-woven costume consists of jacket, trousers, knapsack and turban,
and is decorated with beadwork and bells.  I am particularly interested in
the context in which such an outfit would have been worn.  So far,
traditional sources available to me have provided no insights.  Can anyone
out there help?
