Bontoc Tattoo Shield

[Battara]

Thank you, Sajen. As I think about it, it could be Gaddang, or it could also be Tinguian. I see the museum attribution with supports your assertion. I'll double check this.

Yes tattoos were added to Gaddang, Kalinga, Bontoc, Tinguian, and perhaps others.

Here are some Kalinga tattoo shields. Notice that the inside of the Kalinga examples are tattooed on the inside as well.
