Vintage Igorot Philippines tribal figural carving of a woman carrying her baby and accompanied by her dog. The sculpture is beautifully and expertly detailed.
The
Igorot people, who inhabit the northern Philippines, are known for
their exceptional woodcarving skills, and their creations often depict
scenes from their daily lives or mythological stories. The sculptures with the
dogs are a prime example of their craftsmanship, showcasing
the strong bond between humans and their pets, as well as the respect
for nature. These sculptures are not only
beautiful works of art but also serve as a tribute to the rich cultural
heritage of the Igorot people. It measures~ 15.5” tall.
In
very nice condition. Some of the wood has split over time due to age.
There is a split along the base and along the back/side of the woman.
