Philippine Art to the World
The “Sarimanok” is the legendary bird in Philippine mythology that has become a ubiquitous symbol of Maranao art that holds a significant cultural and artistic relevance to Filipino artists. It is depicted as a fowl with colorful wings and feathered tail, holding a fish on its beak or talons. The head is profusely decorated with scroll, leaf, and spiral motifs. The “Sarimanok” holds a special place in the hearts of Filipino artists as a symbol of cultural heritage, artistic inspiration, national identity, spiritual significance, and artistic innovation. Its presence in Filipino art reflects a deep connection to tradition, creativity, and the vibrant spirit of Filipino culture.
