Unusual style sheath

PeterP · 13th April 2016, 07:14 AM

Last weekend I found this empty scabbard at a flea market. It's pretty worn down, quite old, and in bad repair. What attracted me was the unusual style. Could somebody tell me where this style originates? It's not your usual javanese or madurese sheath. I think I've seen it once or twice before, but I can't find another example on the net. It would be nice if somebody could point me to the right direction.

Madura is a part of East Jawa, classify as East Jawa rather than Madura nobody is going to argue with you.

Hello Alan,

haven't had this feeling. Only want to show Peter similar examples.

Regards,

Understood Detlef, but not everybody understands that Madura is a part of East Jawa, so when there is a non-confrontational choice it is wise to take it.
