Katipunan Matulis Short Sword?

Hello Jose, Another great addition to your collection. I'm in total agreement with your initial assessment of this piece as to age and origin. Looking at the carving though the person depicted on the hilt looks more to me of being of Asian origin, possible Japanese or Chinese? Congratulation on such a great find.

Best,
Robert

P.S.
You know where to send it when you grow tired of looking at it.
