Description | Not much is known about the history of block printing on textiles in the Philippines. Although one could safely assume that this craft found its way to the Philippines through the Sino-Philippine trade beginning in the tenth century or earlier. Or it could have been the Philippines’ pre-Hispanic interactions with the Hindu-influenced, pre-Islamic civilizations of neighboring Malaysia and Indonesia that block printing as a craft was introduced in the archipelago. |
