Up for sale is a beautiful, hand-carved wooden ritual bowl (Pamahan) originating from the Ifugao people of the mountainous Cordillera region in northern Luzon, Philippines. This striking piece is carved from a single piece of dark, dense hardwood, showcasing excellent weight and rich grain coloration.The centerpiece of this bowl is the masterfully integrated ancestral guardian figure, carved in a style heavily reminiscent of traditional \"Bulul\" rice deity statues. The figure features elongated limbs and a hunched posture, with its arms wrapping seamlessly around the upper rim of the vessel to form an elegant and secure double-sided handle structure. The interior and exterior show a gorgeous, naturally aged patina with subtle variances in tone and tool-marks from its hand-chopped construction. This is a highly sculptural piece of Philippine tribal heritage that functions perfectly as an eclectic home decor centerpiece or an addition to a collection of Oceanic and Pacific arts.**Condition:**
