Elizabeth Henshaw Metcalf (April 15, 1852 – 1925) was an American amateur anthropologist who conducted fieldwork among the Bagobo in the Philippines. After meeting and corresponding with Bagobo participants of the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition, Elizabeth and her sister, Sarah Metcalf, amassed one of the best collections of Bagobo textile and clothing in the United States, including rare examples of dua talian cloth and three-panel skirts that show the overdyeing technique called sináke. Elizabeth and Sarah Metcalfs’ collection was donated to the University Museum at the University of Pennsylvania and the National Museum of Natural History at the Smithsonian Institution.
