Yes I was wondering Burma but not sure. For sure the repousse is fantastic as well as the ivory carving!

Rick, curious what is underneath the pierced silver? Can you see the wood? or velvet? or ???

Nathaniel, each panel of pierced silver has a silver sleeve that fits beneath it and both slide over the wood scabbard. The silver sleeve beneath has tarnished now, so you get some of that blackish patina showing through the piercings but no doubt they wanted that as a background as opposed to the wood.
