Question Swordholder ?

Does anyone know this type of object from Indonesia?
Probably a swordholder, or maybe a holder for an agricultural tool?

Hello Albert,

have a very similar holder, bought in Indonesia as sword holder from Java. Not sure if I can find it. When, I will post pictures but it look very similar.

Regards,

Detlef

Hello Albert,

IIRC this is for carrying an agricultural blade that doesn't lend itself for having a scabbard made. I seem to remember a curved blade (probably not an arit though) - will need to check...

Regards,
Kai

Hello Albert, The pictures are in the wrong format. You will have to redo them in jpeg or bitmap and then try to post them.

Regards,
Robert

Looks like it has already been done.
