    The carving depicts a tribal Igorot woman, from Luzon, the Philippines.

    A search for "carved wood Igorot woman" will confirm. The traditional style is to show her with her pipe tucked into her headdress.

    Thanks. I thought it looks like a pipe but then I asked myself what a pipe will do in her hair.

    Agree with Taupou, classic "Igorot" souvenir.
