The kayabang and the apid
The Kayabang is the pyramid-shaped bamboo basket that is used by the traditional woman of Benguet province. The Kayabang is carried through the back after it is anchored on the head through an accessory called the Apid. The Benguet women of the earlier period would go to the farm with the basket in the morning and they would be back home with the basket filled with gathered sweet potatoes and other vegetables in the afternoon. The same basket is used to bring goods to and from the trading centers usually during Sundays. Nowadays, it seems the basket is left only for souvenirs or exhibits.
