More banigs

These banigs are made from buri grass. It's made everywhere in Leyte and Samar. These are less expensive than the tikog banig (a specialty of Basey, Samar) which I posted yesterday. The buri banigs are used to sleep on and it's not really folded because it breaks the mat and make it more susceptible to tearing. To keep, it's rolled and put in the corner of the house. The old ones are used to dry rice (palay).
