Burial jar miniatures
Ermita, Manila

The Burial Jar Miniatures is a diorama of the Ayub Cave, which depicts the 1991 excavation of the Ayub Cave by the National Museum.
The archaeological excavation of Ayub Cave in Maitum, Sarangani, resulted in the discovery of anthropomorphic burial jars that are remarkably unique. Since virtually nothing on the site's history is known, the records kept by the archaeologists during the excavation are vital to the reconstruction of the social history of the people who left behind this remarkable pottery. That theirs was a society which gave particular artistic importance to its burial rituals is obvious. Though few grave offerings were found - a few bracelets of glass and shell, and a number of beads and iron implements - the burial jars themselves appear to be monumental remembrances of both the mourners and the mourned, and most especially of the superb potters who created the burial jars.
