Known as the dungdung, this headpiece features a small brass anthropomorphic male figure with arms outstretched in a dancing position, mounted on a carved wood miniature hagabi (prestige bench). Reserved for special occasions, particularly the uya-uy ritual (marriage) in Kiangan, Ifugao, the dungdung is delicately placed atop the heads of affluent women. This ceremonial adornment is deeply rooted in cultural beliefs, signifying fertility and serving as a status symbol for the women who wear it. The use of dungdung is limited to significant events such as the uya-uy ceremony and the funeral of a kadangyan (wealthy) woman.
