Shown above are the most well-known of the old designs, the sarimanok.
The figure represents a fowl with wings, feathered tail, and a head decorated
with ornaments of scrolled and painted motif of leaves, spirals, and feather-
like forms. It usually stands on a fish and another one hangs from its beak.
The wooden figure, usually perched atop a bamboo pole, stands among
decorative flags during weddings and other festive occasions.
Ang Hagabi ay isang upuang kahoy ng mga Ifugao na sumisimbolo
sa panlipunang katayuan ng isang mamamayan. Ito ay nagpapakita
ng yaman at kapangyarihan ng may-ari nito na kadalasan ay isang
Kadanagyan o isang taong nabibilang sa mataas na antas sa
lipunan. Ito ay sa kadahilanang tanging ang mga mayayaman
lamang ang may kakayahang mag pagawa nito kasama na ang ritwal
na ipinagdiriwang sa oras na matapos ang pagbubuo nito.
Ang hagabi ay isang upuang kahoy na gawa sa narra o ipil. Ang orihinal na anyo
nito ay tinatawag na ginulgulding na ang ibig sabihin ay "kagaya ng kambing",
sapagkat sa dalawang dulo ng upuan ay mayroong nakaukit na animo'y ulo ng
kambing. Sa kasalukuyan ang hagabi ay may iba't iba nang anyo - ang isang dulo
nito na tinatawag na ngiwi ay kagaya na ng ulo ng isang hayop na may
mahabang ilong at dalawang malalaking tainga.

then hardened by baking. Pottery includes both
decorative and practical items such as bowls, vases,
dishes, and lamps

functions. The forms of the pots are directly
influenced by the functions of the pots and the
tradition of the community/local area.
