Pre-historic belief systems have influenced
burial practices in pre-Hispanic Philippines when
reverence given to the dead was of great importance.
After a certain period of time, the remains of the
deceased are exhumed, cleaned, and stored in such
vessels. It was likely only the wealthy who could
undergo secondary burials because the
accompanying ceremonies were lavish.

are valuable testimonies to how society

valued as commodities, and what they
traded, among other practices.
While most burial jars found in the
Philippines are made of fired clay, these
urns are carved from limestone, which make
these relatively rare specimens.
