"Up for auction is a book entitled "Form and Splendor" (Personal Adornment of Northern Luzon Ethnic Groups, Philippines) by Roberto Maramba and photographs by Masato Yokoyama. This book shows the richness and diversity of Cordillera ornamentation. The kankana-ey and Ibaloi, subjected to particularly heavy cultural influences from the outside owing to their proximity to gold and copper mines, are excluded. Each chapter begins with a brief overview of the group followed by a description of the dress and adornment."
