A Rare Bulul Pair by Tagiling

19TH – EARLY 20TH CENTURY Tagiling is one of the only known carvers in Luzon. “Foremost among these more recent carvers was Tagiling of Hengyon, who worked mainly in the small village of Kababuyan. His carvings are found mainly in Hengyon and environs. No records exist, but his surviving descendants say he was born in the 1870s and died in the 1930s. Tagiling is the most important figure during this period because, of all the known carvers whose names are associated with an extant body of work, he was the most effective at bridging the worlds of traditional and commercial art.” Narra wood, encrusted ritual patina Male: 18 in. height Female: 16.5 in. height PRICE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST
