Yes, Punal, it is Igorot. Kalinga? - maybe. The thing is it is a dance shield and stylized. I think it is a later piece (WWII?). Earlier like the turn of the 20th century they were painted darker and the hand holes were larger on one side for the fingers and smaller on the other side for the thumb area.
