Overview of Philippines, Kankanay or Bontoc-carved Wooden House God Figure
Item Details
Philippines, Kankanay or Bontoc-carved wooden house God figure (Galgalawa-en) made of solid Narra hardwood, circa 1st Quarter of 20th Century. This wooden house-god figure, known as Galgalawa-en, hails from the Bontoc or Kakanay people of Northern Luzon, the Philippines. It is dating back to the 1st quarter of the 20th century. Crafted from a single piece of tropical hardwood, this male figure sits on a rounded platform with arms crossed, evoking a possible mortuary stance. His facial features are striking, with prominent eyes, an aquiline nose, reflecting the distinctive "Tinaguiing" style. Size 24" H x 7" L x 6 1/4" W Traditionally, such figures were intricately carved during the construction of a new house. They held significant ceremonial importance, placed near the hearth when a new fire was kindled for cooking. Subsequently, they served as protective house-god figures, safeguarding domestic activities and ensuring the well-being of the household. While bearing similarities to the Bulul figures of the nearby Ifugao, these Galgalawa-en figures boast unique patinas. Its believed they were regularly anointed with a mixture of cooking fat and charcoal from the hearth, a ritual that imbued them with distinctive visual characteristics over time. This differentiation in patina distinguishes them from the Bulul figures, which acquire encrusted patinas through offerings of animal blood.. Provenance: Deaccessioned from an Important Philippine Private Museum
