These plaques are really good. Sadly the quality of modern moro plaques cannot match the old ones. The photo I posted is the best one I got. No one makes good quality weapons of moroland plaques here in Mindanao anymore.

I was told that the earliest plaques were actually made in Baguio (and not Mindanao), that's why a lot of profiles are inaccurate / mislabeled / fantasy made. Eventually though, other areas (including Mindanao) picked up the plaque-making as people realized it was marketable as a tourist attraction
