This blanket from the collection is a variant of binakol textiles. Binakol blankets are popularly known for its spherical-shaped patterns, coming from its root word “bakol” which means “a roundish woven basket” and from the term binakol itself that translates to “made spherical” (Pastor-Roces 1991, pp. 77-212). However, there are other variants that do not necessarily appear round or spherical, but maintain the element of gradation on rectangles that form the unique pattern. These variants include the pinal-pal-iid, sinan-padak ti pusa (cat’s paw print), and concha-concha (capiz windows) among others. This particular blanket from the collection features the sinan-ikamen or ik-ikamen patterns (mat-like design), cat paw’s print (sinan-padak ti pusa) and kinurkuros (cross designs). Its panels are joined by white spider-like embroideries called kawa-kawa in Ilocano and sinan-akawa in Abra.
