I hope there is some comments on the taibon & the carvings on it. The reflection of the flash makes it kind of hard to see, it would be nice to see some closer images. I have a very simular one (minus the carvings) that has providence to 1930's Negros; & have seen them refered to as coming from Luzon but I think they are generally accepted as coming from Cebu, Leyte, Samar & Bohol. Does the lack of the deeper belly indicate location? Not sure what the bottom figure is, the defiant fist of the Katipunan?, is the suit coated hand depicting Jose Rizal?, does the image suggest holding a pistol?
