Ancán Ipil-Ipil Cooking Utensils
$24.00
Made by an Ifugao carver in the mountains of Banaue, Northern Luzon, using Ipil-Ipil, a tropical rainforest wood with a beautiful orange hue.
Woodcarving in the Ifugao region dates back to the 1500s. Home to the famous Banawe Rice Terraces, woodcarving was primarily used to make “bul-uls”, which served as protection/ritualistic objects connected to the rice harvesting cycle.
Cooking Spoons and Spatulas measure 12″. Also available is the 13″ Long Stirring Spoon (Wavy), made especially for mixing juices in pitchers or tall glasses.
