"SARIMANOK"
~ the motif inside the refurbished bookstore that i used to go to...
maybe you're wondering what's it got to do with books?!
i don't have any idea either. ^-^ But just a theory,...
Sarimanok- is a mythical bird which originated from Mindanao (one of our main islands) .
Manòk - is a Philippine word for chicken...
It has become as a symbol and an art.
It is depicted as a fowl with colorful wings and feathered tails.
It is said to be a symbol of good fortune also.
Very nice and colorful.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the owner is a sabungero.
ReplyDeleteI love all depictions of the wonderfully colored sarimanok! Won't have anything to do with my home either, but I wouldn't mind having one there! :)
ReplyDeleteYour "theory" seems to a good one! Anyhow, a nice bird!
