| Keywords: Tabon cave burial procession mural and shark.jpeg This section outside the cave was identified by Philip Maise in 2015 Many elements indicate this is a man made mural 1 The large curve near the bottom is clearly a large shark The head is to the left This was created first and likely dates to before the jar burial period that began 5 000 years ago 2 The jar burial procession was logically carved before that period ended 1500 years ago Despite the newer mural some of the shark's body is still visible 3 On the left of the photo are regular notches These appear to be hand and foot holds 4 The circular object in the center is the jar It is depicted with a lid a canoe on top and a figurine of depicting the person that the jar was prepared for These details are similar to the Manunggul Jar 5 To the right is a bayawan waving a talisman and forever frozen in time mid-step Notice the right leg is raised The bayawan is the equivalent of a kumu mahu in Hawaii Likely this means it may be the first image of someone of the third gender 6 Behind are four individuals carrying the jar A bamboo frame supports the jar as they carry it on their shoulders 7 Details are still clear enough to see two figures are on the near side of the jar and two on the far side Uncategorized 2015 June 9 | ||||
