Hello Ian,
Your answer was both complete and succinct. And such a lovely example. Thank you very much! I think you're right about western Vasayans, and in fact the smaller one has "Vectori: La Pas: Leyte P.I." carved on it. So I think Leyte is a pretty strong possibility for that one. It's visible in one of the pictures, but upside down. As for the Dog headed ones, those are excellent! I'm happy to know that my big one is not unprecedented. Thanks, Leif |

I have been calling this a Talibon but I guess it is more correctly a garab.

While I'm still looking for a early 20th/late 19th century Garab, I might have gotten a few more talibongs since I first made this post
