After referring to history of lupong, it deals with anorganic contents: numerous, magic stones, pentik (small wooden figures), petrified objects (crafts of wood and bark), a “bottle”, and various charms, bells and containers of invisibility. Aspects of mineralogy and atomic structures are followed by a micro-biological examination and a Gas-Chromatography 7 Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) of the contents of the bottle.
A large collection of lupong with various contents as well as with different design completes these studies.
