Dancing
Figure
Ifugao, Philippines
Late 19th/20th Century
As if frozen in the middle of it’s tribal dance; this figure has
fantastic character. While the body tips slightly to the side; the purposely
carved disproportionate left arm comes back into the torso, creating a
wild movement. Spinning the piece around physically gives the viewer a
sense that the piece is dancing; as if being transported back to the time
when the dance actually occurred. Carved from hardwood with a fine honey
brown patina.
This piece stand 9.5 inches tall.
