Binirayan Foundation, Inc. has come out with Limited Edition Inday Sally dolls by Precious Moments. Designed after Antique's popular lady governor Salvacion Zaldivar Perez, Inday Sally is a collectible doll wearing an authentic pili patadyong woven by the women of Bagtasun, Bugasong, Antique, and a kimona, the traditional costume in many islands in the Visayas.
The weaving tradition in Antique, according to the Maragtas, is believed to have been introduced by Datu Lubay, a minor chieftain under Datu Sumakwel, the chief of Hantik. This living heritage, handed down from generation to generation, continues to strive in this rural community in Central Antique despite years of modernization.
Each doll comes in a kraft box, with a certificate of authentication by Samuel L. Butcher, maker of Precious Moments. The accessories include a delicately woven abaca hat, and imitation pearl necklace, earings, and bracelet.
