Woven using brocade supplementary weft technique called pinilian, this textile with rooster motifs is among the pinilian textiles with zoomorphic motifs. Like the other motifs in Itneg textiles, the use of rooster motifs indicates the animal’s relative importance to their culture. According to Cole’s (1922) records, roosters were used as sacrificial animals in many rituals and ceremonies. For instance, a rooster is killed in a ceremony known as olog for a child who is turning two years old. Cole (1922) explained that in this ceremony, the rooster’s blood is extracted and mixed with rice grains to scratter on the ground. This ritual is conducted to please all the spirits and avoid bringing illness to the child (Cole, 1922). Additionally, indaladal was applied on the warp ends of the textile. It involved tightly sewing the hemlines to prevent the warp and weft threads from unravelling (Cunanan, 2015).
