In Ifugao, the pinagpagan is used both as a ceremonial blanket and as a funerary garment. It has four panels adorned with various designs, such as snakes, lizards, figures of man, spears, and rice mortars, among others. The blanket also indicates the appropriate number of days for the funeral; for example, the piniit, a red diamond motif, could signify that at least a carabao will be butchered during the funeral. There is also the purposeful application of crimson red for the pud-ok or mata-mata (eye-like) design, which represents light. This "light," or "ancestors' eyes," guides the soul of the deceased on their journey to the afterlife.
