Where a tombak-like object is used as the finial for a banner shaft, or where the object has been specifically made to serve as a finial for a banner shaft, the correct name for that object is "Pataka".
So these things being discussed here are called "Pataka", not "Tombak".
I had forgotten this, but I needed to do a re-read of something and I came across the reference again. I have not yet checked for a root or cross reference.
