WEST WING 



Collections from the Philippines 



The hall due north beyond the Hall of the Pacific Islands is devoted 



to a collection from the Philippine Islands. The installation here, as in 



the African hall, is geographical. The specimens of w^ood along the w'alls 



are Philippine w^oods. The palm leaf mats above the 



Living Tribes ^yi^jQ^yg around the hall are in some cases very beautiful. 



T,, ... . The brasswork, boar-bristle tooth brushes, necklaces, shell 



Philippine . ' ' ' , 



Islands bracelets, knives, spears, bead-ornamented combs, medi- 



cines, guitars, horse accoutrements evidence superior 

 workmanship. These people present a higher civilization than their 

 South Sea Island neighbors. The exhibit of clothing distinctive of each 

 tribe is very complete. The model at the entrance depicts a woman 

 weaving a garment similar to some of those seen in the cases. The house 

 in the tree at the end of the room, a life-size copy of a tree-house such as 

 the Lake Lanao Moros build, will remind many visitors of the Swiss 

 Family Robinson.
