content: From card: "Standing figure of a woman, with a water jar on her head. The costume painted in colors: under dress checkered black and green, overdress black, blouse white with black pin stripes, & banded red scarf. On the square grey base is carved the word: Gagalangin. These figures were carved by a resident of Gagalangin in Laguna, Edjawin, by name, and were part of the Philippines exhibit at the St. Louis Exhibition, They were part of a larger collection and now are almost unique. Because this quality of work is no longer done (in 1963) and very few of them are in existence (information from Dr. Ch. Houston)." [see also E216652]
