Catalogue Note
Les statues bulul de la région de Banaue-Mayaoyao se distinguent - comme ici - par la sensibilité de leur style minimaliste, où s'impose l'intériorité du visage aux traits tout juste esquissés. "Ces bulul sont généralement assis. Leur frontalité marquée ainsi que l'élan vers l'avant de la tête et de la partie supérieure du corps produisent une sensation d'instantanéité intimidante, mais fascinante. Caractérisés par des plans et des volumes accentués par une dissection de l'espace réalisée avec habilité, ces pièces monolithiques manifestent la présence magique viscérale et puissante des bulul archaïques" (Palencia in Tribal Art, 1998, n° 17, p. 60).
