Default Moro Kalis question

Picked up this Moro Kalis, I think this one is from Mindanao late 1800/early 1900-s. What puzzles me is pommel. It is not usual kakatua and not a horse hoof...

No worries Groza.
This kind of pommel is fairly common for this type of kris. I had one of these for a while, but sold it a few years back.

Thanks! Philippino blades is not my area of expertise. Is this sword from Mindanao? And is dating it to late 1800/early 1900-s correct?
