Another one from Bali, painted gold, red and black. Looks like an older one.
The subject to the back is pretty interesting: looks like a Raksasa and a princess, what can it be really?

Carved and painted

Both carved and painted, does it fall under this umbrella or considered a different kettle of fish?

The word "sungging" means "painting or decoration".

"Sunggingan" means something that is painted.

If its decorated with paint it is sunggingan work, and this can apply to anything, not only scabbards for weapons.

Another example. This is in the "Musée royal de l'Armèe" - Bruxelles
