Small intricately carved Talibon

Hi, can anyone tell me more about this nicely carved talibong? The scabbard looks really interesting as well. I think there is a leather strap and a butterfly carving on the other side. Thanks!

Panay highlands, I believe.

Possibly first half of the 20th c.? (Scabbard may be somewhat later.)

Regards,
Kai
