Costume Of Datu Philippines Pinterest Pinterest Pinterest. In the Philippines, the "tangkulo" is traditionally worn as a head piece by male leaders such as chieftains and warriors in tribal communities. The pieces are first woven on a loom by hand, then tied and hand dyed, then beaded and adorned with hand made pom poms. Due to the precious artisan nature of the tangkulo, each one is unique and one of a kind, and are limited in supply. Supporting and celebrating indigenous tribes and their cultures is at the heart of KINdom; we are all KIN. The tangkulo is worn here as a scarf and creates awareness of these rich cultures that we must preserve. One size only. 100% cotton. Made in the Philippines. Professional wet clean (more eco friendly), or dry clean.
