Bruce Frank, New York, USA
Description
wood, rest.
The Ifugao are an ancient Malay ethnic group living in the hard-to-reach Philippine Cordilleras on northern Luzon and belong to the Igorot.
The focus of their culture is the cultivation of rice on artificial terraced fields. To promote and secure their rice harvest, they carve figures like this one. “Bulul” are “charged” with magical power by priests, ceremonially sacrificed and placed in the rice stores to protect the harvest.
When a figure is ritually charged and inhabited by the spirit of a “bulul”, it is called a “nabululul”. The “nabulul” are considered to be objects of prestige, whose possessions were largely reserved for the ruling class.
