The scabbard is certainly interesting and with 3 examples we have established an pattern...
Note that Roland's example has the tips curled inside while in the 2 examples from the IFICAH exhibition they are pointing outside. Moreover, the carved motifs of all 3 examples are very different! Any hints for the buntut being a repair for a broken scabbard tip in your piece, Roland? I'm not convinced that Jean's pendok has any relationship with these 3 discussed here. (Thanks for adding the pic!)
