Philippine tribal chess set which was presumably made by the Igorot people in Northern Luzon, in particular the Ifugao tribe in the Banaue region. The pieces are made from local woods, but I am not sure which wood types were used exactly. In many Philippine chess sets Kamagong is used for the dark pieces, but I doubt that this is the material used here for the black pieces, because it feels too light. Kamagong, which is also called Ironwood sometimes, has a very high density and is rather heavy. whereas the pieces in this set are much lighter. I assume that some sort of Acacia wood was used for both sides.

 The design of the pieces show some characeteristics typical for Ifugao sets. The King is shown with some staff or club and shield. The Queen is depicted as carrying an "offering" of some unidentifiable kind, with both hands upturned. The Bishops are wearing a tunic and hold a rice bowl in their right hand, which is symbolizing their work of giving rice or food to the poor. The Knights are depicted as carabao (water buffalos) with rider. The Rooks are designed as bamboo-constructed hut with roofs made from dried coconut, also called "Nipa", i.e. Nipa huts typical for the region. The Pawns are armed with club and shield.
