The "Winayway" of the Kalinga People
"The winayway is the most valuable adornment of the Kalinga as it is a long two-strand bead ensemble with the greatest number of the most valued agate stone beads in Cordillera societies. There are two types of agate beads in the winayway: the big agates called addongan or adiongan and the smaller one called impit. Other prized beads are used in the ensemble. The winayway is usually worn like a sash and placed over one shoulder. The valuable beads are displayed prominently in front. The winayway can also be worn like a necklace.
