A common ancient artifact symbolizing fertility prosperity and love found in the Ifugao, Bontoc, and other cordillera regions of the northern Philippines is Lingling.
- Lingling is an ancient relic that represents fertility, wealth, and love.
- Lingling is a form of a penannular or double-headed necklace or amulet that has been linked to several Austronesian societies from the late Neolithic to the late Iron Age.
- Although the raw jade was imported from Taiwan, most Lingling was manufactured in jade workshops in the Philippines and to a smaller extent in the Sa Huynh culture of Vietnam.
- The oldest surviving specimens of Lingling date from circa 500 BC and were fashioned of nephrite jade, while subsequent versions were made of shell, gold, copper, and wood; the kind of material reflects distinctions in the wearer's social position.
- H. Otley Beyer popularized the phrase by adapting it from the Southern Ifugao language for similar decorations.
- Since then, the word has been applied to a wide range of metal age Austronesian decorations discovered in the Philippines, Taiwan, and Vietnam.
