Handwoven using the pinilian technique, this textile features pre-selected warp threads that form brocaded designs. It showcases alternating sinan-tokak (frog-like) and sinan-karayan (river) motifs in zigzag patterns repeated throughout the cloth. Depictions of riverine creatures such as frogs, turtles, and crabs reflect the Itneg belief in “auspicious creatures,” which are considered “taboo dishes” in some of their rituals (Respicio 2000, p. 85). Both of these motifs and patterns are reflective of their life near large riverine structures and their beliefs.

This blanket can also be further described as a dinapat, a form of a pinilian textile that has motifs and patterns “on the entire surface” (Pastor-Roces 1991, p. 63), or in other words, that which “occupies the whole blanket” (Salvador-Amores 2019, p. 27). Moreover, the designs are arranged in a way where there are “no spaces” put in between, unlike other pinilian blankets.
