The ringlets at the bottom of the piece shown in the original post remind me in some ways of the guard features on some kampilan. While clearly a remote connection, perhaps diffusion through Spanish cultural infusion might have some bearing, and the vestiges of Celtic symbolism might have found some vehicle in that. Just suggestions for consideration.
