Description from the seller

The Isneg or Apayao live in the northern Cordillera of Luzon, the largest island of the Philippines. The Isneg were notorious for headhunting.

Only the Isneg wear the sipattal, it is worn by men, women and sometimes even children. The sipattal is a show-piece of Isneg festive dress and worn only on very special occassions.

One of the most striking ethnic ornaments.

Careful registered sending, combined shipping possible.
