Another Philippine Sword

Hi all,
Well, this is a good test to see if I've learned my lessons from this forum correctly. Given the sheath throat decoration, I would say the piece is Visayan and, given the similarity to the standard diety hilt from the isle of Panay, it is probably from there. If I'm wrong I'm sure the Philippine experts will come on board and set the record straight.
Sincerely,
RobT

(wish I had some

) it's Panay alright.
