This gorgeous young couple is beautifully rendered by someone with great sculptural abilities. The proud pair stand above the crowd. They are a fine example of the Mountain peoples of the Philippines. This beautiful pair came from a collection of a family who cherished these for decades.
They are carved from a rich gorgeous hardwood.
At 12 inches tall they look amazing nestled into a style book shelf in the study or living room.
Note: The woman figure has little indent on her right arm. It does not detract from her beauty.
Igorot, any of various ethnic groups in the mountains of northern Luzon, Philippines, all of whom keep, or have kept until recently, their traditional religion and way of life. Some live in the tropical forests of the foothills, but most live in rugged grassland and pine forest zones higher up. The Igorot numbered about 1.5 million in the early 21st century. Their languages belong to the northern Luzon subgroup of the Philippine languages, which belong to the Austronesian (Malayo-Polynesian) family.
