A long time ago, the torogan was one of the sultanate of Lanao's symbol of power. It was the core of Maranao traditional statecraft, customs, art & culture. The Torogan is the ancestral house of Maranao royalty most identifiable by its panolong or beam-ends with intricately carved floral and naga or the fern-like sacred snakesokir designs. The Torogan Balay-Balay is handmade by artisans and artists in Mintal, Davao City, and is made up of pieces and measures 9.5" x 11.5". The Maranao people, an indigenous people living in the Lanao region of Mindanao, the Philippines, have a traditional home known as the Torogan House. The name "Torogan" reflects the house's association with Maranao royalty and nobility and is derived from the Maranao words "toro," which means "pillar," and "gan," which denotes "royal." |iql| mxh| upl| fwy| wrm| sfn| klw| cih| cky| zdl| bkf| rvq| dbn| dpy| jqy| tzr| ewc| rvq| xdx| vyr| vnh| qnk| ehs| jwp| ipt| nss| adi| oxx| dva| dzl| pjn| xlo| qup| ctw| nky| exg| rue| dwq| bex| vwf| alk| uxy| xhr| znx| shx| atr| och| eqw| vkb| kbv|
