Very unique antique hand-crafted wood sculpture. Depicts a group of Filipino Kalinga warrior hunters carrying their kill (a deer) through a forest. The hunters are surrounded by a large assortment of woodland birds and animals. Honestly there is so much going on with this piece, that I have trouble putting it into words. Antique / Vintage piece – I would estimate it to have been made circa early – mid 1900’s that’s just my best personal guess though.. I was told that this item was originally acquired in the Philippines, and was created by an Ifugao tribesman artist. I have not been able to locate a signature anywhere on the piece. It was obviously created by an extremely talented individual. Cosmetic condition is a pictured. It appears to have lost a few pieces since it was originally created, as I see there are a few holes in the branches where there were likely additional animals at one point in time. Also I noticed that one of the hunters is missing a spear. There may be some other small things which I don’t see, but overall it is a very impressive piece of artwork. This is a LARGE Piece. Approximate Overall Dimensions: 25″ H x 29″ W x 29 D. (in a few of the stock photos I placed a ruler or soda can next to the sculpture, just to help demonstrate it’s size). I have never personally seen anything else quite like this before. This is truly a ONE-OF-A-KIND / ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME type of piece! I tem is “AS-IS / AS PICTURED” – Please refer to photos.
