IFUGAO HEADHUNTERS CHARM C.1850
|
|
Item Number: 10-685
Under Spanish
colonial rule, Philippine natives lived in isolation, relatively
unaffected by the outside world. In the North, headhunting and
cannibalism were part of most cultures. The Ifugao of the central Luzon
highlands maintained those practices until the turn of the twentieth
century.
Bronze, 3/4 height.
Form descended from the ancient nose ring and worn as a neck pendant in
the 18th and 19th centuries. See Francis, page 98.
