The coffin is 50–80 centimeters tall and 70–75 centimeters wide. It has a row scalloped cut-out edges along the rim. It is found in the Bacong jar burial sites, located in southeastern Negros island in Central Philippines.

Found in the Bacong region of Negros Oriental where remains one of the most unique ancient burial practice in the Philippines. The Bacong region is known to be an archeology site dating to the Metal Age era (between 2500 to 1000 years ago) in the early 1970’s. Treasure hunters were the first to discover the graves and sold them as “antique objects” looted from the site. The vessels were found with the whole body of the dead inside of it in flexed or fetal positions or dismembered. The large jars, round or rectangular, exhibit a variety of designs that include fertility symbols or phallic symbols. 

The stylistic presentation or production of these potteries has shown correlation to the daily activities of the ancient inhabitants in the area. Information on the relationship between the pottery variability and social organization could be attained through intensive analysis of these material evidences. However, information on gender related issues of this Metal Age society does not appear to be strong and need further investigation.

Bacong has been known to archaeologists as a significant Metal Age site (between 2500 to 1000 BP) as early as the 1970s, when treasure hunters initially discovered the graves and sold them as “antique objects” looted from the sites. To stem the loss of information through pillaging during that period, archaeologists from Silliman University led by Lionel Chiong, and the University of San Carlos led by Rosa C.P. Tenazas eventually excavated some of the jar burial sites.
