Item Details

Description

Southeast Asia, Philippines, Luzon Island, Ifugao culture, ca. early 20th century CE. A hand-carved wooden female figure known as a bulul with lovely caramel hues. The figure stands nude atop an integral cylindrical plinth, legs delineated and left arm hanging, while holding a petite quadruped upside-down atop her right shoulder. Her enlarged head features close-set ovoid eyes, a triangular nose, pursed lips, and a single flared ear, all beneath a hemispherical cranium. Bululs are abstract representations of ancestors that were created to serve as protectors of the rice crops and were placed outside to watch over the fields. Size: 2.5" W x 9.4" H (6.4 cm x 23.9 cm)

Provenance: private Massachusetts, USA collection of Kahlil and Jean Gibran. Kahlil Gibran (1922-2008, also known as Kahlil George Gibran) was a successful mid-20th century Magic Realist painter and sculptor.
