Woven using discontinuous supplementary weft yarns, this blanket is known as an insukit or inkaot, Ilocano terms referring to handwoven textiles with inlaid patterns (Respicio, 2014). It features a double-headed eagle motif, called sinan-lablabaan by the Itneg or Tinguian and gik-gik by the Ilocanos. In local mythology, this eagle—or hawk, as some describe it—is a spirit-god believed to dwell in “a big house surrounded by a well-kept garden” (Respicio, 2000, p. 111), which may explain the fenced garden design enclosing the figures. In 1922, Cooper-Cole described a half-human, half-bird spiritual entity known as Alan or Aran, said to hang from trees and sometimes reside in elaborate houses (p. 301).
