The pis syabit is the traditional head cloth (pis) of Tausug men. It features geometric patterns executed in their renowned tapestry silk weaving technique (syabit).

The geometric design was likely derived from the Hindu mandala while the silk tapestry weave was introduced to Southeast Asia through trade with China. The pis syabit was woven using the backstrap loom, the preferred technology in Southeast Asia. In recent times, cotton blends were used as a substitute to silk.
