Pair of rice gods «bulul»
Ifugao, Philippinen

wood, dull, partly encrusted greyish brown patina, a male and a female figure, each rising from a massive, indented base, their bodies nearly identical in shape: long legs supporting a flattened trapezoid upper part of the body merging into broad shoulders, flanked by free carved long arms, short necks with bowl-shaped heads on top, with simplified facial features and the chin «cut off» straight, drilled ears, min. dam., slight signs of abrasion, fissures;
the «bulul» represent a class of deities associated with the production of bountiful harvests, capable of miraculously increasing the rice both before and after it is stored in the granary. Aside of this, «bulul» is in fact a generic term for types of consecrated images.
