<b>Tribal Wooden Figural Box - Philippines</b>


Size: 5 H x 3 W x 3½ D


Condition: very good


Age: Late 20th Century


Markings: None


Weight: 8½ Oz's.


Origin: Philippines: People of the Mountain Province


This wooden box resembles a sitting tribal man holding a ring or necklace that surrounds its neck. The 2 inch diameter cover of the box is the head of a man. The surface of the box is stained black.


I acquired this box directly from a shop in Pasig City, Philippines.


Please note that the figure (box) is black. It appears washed out from the light needed to photograph it.

A striking and nicely detailed figure.
