Malot Ingel

Only properly trained National Museum personnel are permitted to handle artifacts. When they do, they wear the appropriate gloves to ensure that moisture and particles of dirt accumulated on human hands are not transferred onto the surface of artifacts and permanently damage them.

I took this photo of Malot Ingel, a National Museum researcher from Vigan, in between transporting a basi container on display from the shelf to the table where we would be documenting it.
