Behold my #sarimanok featuring #okir* which is an arabesque design 🔥

Wikipedia: "Sarimanok is a legendary bird of the Maranao people, who originate from Mindanao, an island in the Philippines, and part of Philippine mythology. It comes from the words sari and manok. Sari means "assorted" or "various", while manok originally meant "bird" as evidenced by early Spanish colonial sources, but came to mean only "chicken", which is how it is understood today (i.e. the creature is a "bird/chicken of assorted colors")."

Colours: Red represents bravery and courage; green signifies growth, fertility, and abundance; and yellow represents royalty, wealth and prosperity.

"The painting, feared to have been destroyed during the revolution, is hailed by many art collectors as the 'holy grail of Philippine art' – due to both Luna’s brilliance and the air of mystery surrounding the piece. It belonged to his personal collection; he never made it with the intention of submitting it in a competition or as a commissioned work. " #PinoyArtists #Philippines #PinoyArt #MastodonArt
