Bulul, also known as bul-ul or tinagtaggu, is a carved wooden figure used to guard the rice crop by the Ifugao (and their sub-tribe Kalanguya) peoples of northern Luzon.
The sculptures are highly stylized representations of ancestors and are thought to gain power and wealth from the presence of the ancestral spirit.[1] The Ifugao are particularly noted for their skill in carving bulul.[2]
