The picture is Warangka Tanggalan model known since Kesultanan Demak but faded towards the end of Mataram Kartasura era. Even then, it managed to spread to Sumatra and Peninsula Malaya.
An attack led by Adipati Yunus with the armada from the Demak kingdom, at Singapura in the year 1511, to repel the Portugese from the island, might brought the influence and development of the sheath form into the Peninsula Melayu including Riau.
