Wood
Carving

12. Natural forms are allowed only on the condition that they
are “denatured.” Because of this limitation, the Maranao
woodcarvers use the “okkil” motif in most of their works.
The “okkil” motif is rich in Sassanian character — the
flowing floral forms and S movements. The Filipino
Muslim adaptation of the “okkil” has a strong indigenous
character, deriving inspiration from local plants, sea
corals and native objects.
