It looks like a clay to me, pottery designed lamb converted to a ceramic deco! This is just great! Many thanks Sidney for sharing this, didn't know about this lamb thing :) !

hmm .. je souhaite qu'il y aura des fêtes pour les gens de science, leur découvertes comme décartes, darwin, newton, pascal, einstein, stephen hawking, etc (surtout ceux qui vient des philippines et c'est assez bizarre car je ne sais personne).
A mashed patatoe lamb !!!You always know how to surprise ! Makes me immediately think of the communion ice lambs (filled with grenadine, chop of the head and it bleeds, you know ?) that are a tradition here.
Very nice set, this festival seems to be really great... Your pictures to show us everything are just superb...Cheers :)

Amazing festival. As someone else mentioned there seem to be so many festivals in the Philippines. What a rich culture it is.

banda 12 a full brass band that you can hear three blocks away hahaha. Interesting to see it through your lens Sidney.
Human interest photos are treasures and collected by NGS. Some people see it too often here and thus dismiss it as plain and ordinary.
The merry month of fiestas May. I am amazed at the passion, energy and time they have put into making the cordero.
Thanks for sharing your images Sidney!

Wow, such pomp and pageantry. I am amused to see trappings of religions and churches that bear no connection to spirituality.

oui , des festivals partout et aussi de la misère mais peut-être l'un explique l'autre.
