This large white limestone jar of tapering, squarish form and carved with prominent schematic linear patterns was used for secondary burial purposes, whereby the skull and selected long bones of the deceased were exhumed, ritually cleaned and then interred in the jar. This and other jars like it were then stored in caves in the southern Cotabato region of Mindanao. Personal items such as jewellery often were placed inside the jar as well.
The Intramuros Pot Shard was only one of the 500 artifacts discovered by the National Museum team at the San Ignacio Church Ruins in Intramuros, Manila. However, this archaeological piece was the most significant for one reason: It was the only artifact with ancient inscription recovered systematically.
The gold death mask of Oton, another National Cultural Treasure, was discovered in the 1960s by Alfredo Evangelista and F. Landa Jocan. It consists of a gold nose-disc and eye-mask, both of which were found in a gravesite in San Antonio, Oton, Iloilo. The gold mask–dated from the late 14th to the early 15th century A.D.–is the first of its kind recovered in the Philippines.It was part of ancient burial practice, with the gold mask serving as an amulet against evil spirits.
