The pommel design looks contemporary as compared to the maranhig figurals that I've seen and held. It would be wise to ask a Panay/Negros elder to classify the pommel appropriately, as there may be another term for it. Btw, the terms "linamay, bakutan, kinampit" are only used in Aklan, by Akeanons. There are different terms for the profiles in Antique, Capiz, Iloilo, etc. Again, consultation with elders is a must in order to attain the appropriate terminologies.
