Item Details
Description
Southeast Asia, Philippines, Luzon region, Ifugao people, ca. late 19th century CE.

At either end, forming handles, are two anthropomorphic heads, their faces upturned, as if looking at the viewer. Each has deep eyes and a line forming the mouth below a relatively flat nose. Bowls like this one were used during ritual sacrifices. Size: 18.25" L x 7" W x 6.5" H (46.4 cm x 17.8 cm x 16.5 cm); 10.5" H (26.7 cm) on included custom stand.
