The rendering shows a cat if I look at the small almost hidden ears. Mine clearly shows doglike ears. Anyone else having a clue?

Maybe someone can enlight me about the pamor involved. Is there more then one pamor (dwiwarna?) or do I look at a (worn) kind of Toya mambeg or karawelang?

Thanks for the comments.
Good quality scabbard and pendok but I need to replace the mendak (missing and / or broken stones).
From the former collector Dr. Lameijer...does it ring a bell ?
