Does it have a strong smell of smoke? The workmanship leads me to suspect that it was made by the Ifugao.

 Hi Nonoy, 
it had a strong smell when I bought it and 2000 and still have a smell of smoke, the same smell I register when I enter the room with my Ifugao basketry. Indeed the workmanship seems not have the subtle finesse of Bontoc shields. Thanks for the comment!
