Here it is.
Tau't Bato tribe from the Philippines. In the top of the cover poison was poured to put the tip of the arrows in.

The picture of the warrior with blowpipe and quiver is a member of the Tau't Bato tribe.

The quiver shown as Tau't Batu of Palawan is the same as the ones used by the Tagbanua (and Batak negritos of Palawan). The quiver in question, on the other hand, has a wooden hip hook design that is dissimilar. Therefore, I do not think that it is from Palawan - i.e. not Batak, not Tau't Batu, and not Tagbanua.

The hook also makes me say dayak.
Surely looks like an aso/asu figure to me.
Although a style that I know no other examples of.
