I have finally finished the scabbard. IT is made of wood and silver sheet with Mandaya design done in their traditional method of what I have called "pin prick" chasing, with some piercing work. Most of the designs are variations of the crocodile motif. There is black rattan binding in between the silver pieces.

Enjoy
