I have held this in person. Yes Rick the tang is peened over.

However, I disagree. The head gear and dress of the person seem to me to be that worn by clergy of the 18th century in the Philippines. Of course more research needs to be done. Also the eyes and facial features are not Chinese but more European in nature.
