Gassia Armenian explores the decades-long mystery surrounding a pair of bululs, long attributed to the renowned master carver Taguiling. As part of provenance research, Armenian traces the cultural significance of bululs as rice granary guardians, examines Taguiling’s rise to fame and the emergence of his imitators, and follows a continents-wide search through museum records, archival materials, appraisals, and Philippine sources. While stylistic evidence, historical documentation, and early expert appraisals strongly support a connection to Taguiling, unanswered questions remain about whether these specific figures were carved by the master himself or by his followers. Ultimately, the video reframes the mystery by emphasizing that authorship uncertainty does not diminish the bululs’ cultural, spiritual, or historical value.
