"IGOROT MAN 'THE TRAVELER'"
Igorot tribesmen, a mountain tribe of the Philippine Island [SIC], carved this life-sized statue of a man from one solid piece of mahogany.  Known as the 'wild people,' the Igorot still read omens from animal sacrifices and venerate sacred tree [SIC] and mountains.  Once notorious as headhunters and merciless warriors, their savage past still makes their neighbors nervous.  Recently one Filipino newspaper warned picnickers that 'It's head-hunting time again!'"
