The Pis or Pis Syabit, is a multicolored woven cloth of the Tausug – square in format, measuring 100 centimeters by 100 centimeters. It is traditionally worn by the Tausug men as headdresses or as clothing accessories – folded neatly and draped over the left shoulder and worn along with the ‘lapi’ or upper garments and the ‘sawal’ or loose trousers. The pis syabit symbolized the weaver’s elevated position in society.
