- Lot Description
**Originally Listed At $750**
Oceania, Philippines, East Luzon, Nueva Vizcaya and Nueva Ecija provinces, Ilongot (also Bugkalot or Ibilao) peoples, ca. early to mid-20th century CE. A rare example of a ceremonial headdress known as a panglao (also toc-bed) used in headhunters' ceremonies. The brass framework for the head is secured over top with a curved iron bar, and a red hornbill bead is secured to the terminals of two projecting wooden slats. Lengths of twisted or braided brass wire decorate the peripheries of the beak, wooden slats, and iron bar, and dozens of trade bead strands are capped with carved nacre fragments. Panglao are highly symbolic representations of a headhunter's skill and societal standing, however some scholars debate on the number of heads - if any - needed to earn its wear. Size: 21.3" L x 6.6" W x 4" H (54.1 cm x 16.8 cm x 10.2 cm)
Panglao are some of the only headdresses that can be associated solely as an Ilongot creation. Usually worn with hornbill earrings known as batling, headhunting headdresses like this example, "dramatically displayed a hunter's skill to onlookers . . . Ilongot warriors wore headdresses to ceremonies and social engagements where they highlighted their status and skill, like covenants. Headdresses like these likely fascinated Euro-American collectors as they represented both headhunting and ties to non-Christian spirituality." (Carlson, Sarah E. "From the Philippines to The Field Museum: A Study of Ilongot (Bugkalot) Personal Adornment." Illinois Wesleyan University, Department of Anthropology, Honors Projects, 2013, pp. 47-48)
