Is there a round wooden protrusion on the scabbard with a hole through it, where the ratan ball is placed over?

Maurice: As far as I can tell, there is a round wooden peg that it is attached to. I have several more Nias swords and some of the amulet balls are simply tied on with either twine or rattan, or sometimes even wire, tied directly to the scabbard without a peg protruding.........Dave.
