Description from the seller
A round, deep ceremonial bowl called 'Duyu' for the ritual drinking of rice wine.
Usually, the priests, healers, and fortune-tellers of the Ifugao drank rice wine from such Duyu bowls during their ritual ceremonies. Only the highest-ranking Ifugao families were allowed to use Duyu bowls for daily meals. Otherwise, they ate from bowls without a serrated rim. On the upper, wide rim of the Duyu, semi-circular indentations, each with a central ridge, are very carefully crafted. These served as mouthpieces for drinking the rice wine.
