Tribal used classic BULUL statue, IFUGAO, Philippines, mid 20th century

A classic Hapag Bulul, the rice god of the Ifugao who still plays a role in the culture and rituals that are still adhered to. You can hardly find authentic used Bulul statues in situ anymore. The images that are offered often come from private collections. Also this stylistically very beautiful statue which comes from the private collection of Mr. Smeet from Liège in Belgium. Strong and characterful statue with an appropriate patina in terms of use and age. See the pictures!
