Hi Vandoo, yep you'r right. I actually also spotted this piece FROM the very corner of that pic posted on the "nr1 tribalartsite"

and contacted mr. 'S' about it. Although I have bought item(-s?) from him before this was a tad too high and didnt know the tip was broken.

Though still a very interesting piece and quite a mind puzzler (to me . .!?)
Perhaps the moro experts here can unfold the mystery on this object!

I agree with Vandoo, have seen this before. I wouldn't say Moro influence, since the okir is vastly different than most Moro okirs on the ferrule. Nice to see that some of the script is old pre-Spanish Filipino.
