Very nice tenegre with unusual guard for a Visayan sword. Is the ferrule from silver? Could be that the scabbard has had once alternating bands from thin carved horn bands and brass bands. See for example here:

I like the flat deity head on this one. Congratulation for this nice and somewhat unusual addition to your collection.
