"...I found gold in the Philippines." —Steven Seagal (Tanduay Gold Rum commercial)
I'm not really into artifacts but I enjoyed the exhibit "Gold of Ancestors: Pre-colonial Treasures in the Philippines" at Ayala Museum. I was amazed by the scope of the pieces exhibited. I love the various gold funeral mask on display, its creepy and beautiful at the same time (somehow they reminded me of Dave Mckeans' work).
Taking pictures is forbidden...so yeah, that shitty drawing that I did after the visit is the only remembrance I really have.
