Default Another late-20th C piece

This one was collected in Davao City in the late 1990s. It resembles the bottom one in the initial post of this thread in that the blade is an odd clipped form--something of a "barung/gayang" shape. The hilt has also been decorated with painted motifs on the kakatua pommel (see pictures). I think this one could be Maranao or Maguindanao in origin.
