I think it is the form of a person with raised arms. You also see this in an unrelated tribe in the north, the Kalinga, where their shields are in the form of a stylized human, 2 prongs down for legs, 3 prongs up for the head and raised arms.

I am quite sure it is silver mounts by the look of the oxidation and tradition.

Glad you got this one Bill.

Here are two old threads with great info:
