Default Lapland / Sami scabbard ?

Is this a fancy Lap / Sami knife scabbard ?
I cannot think of anything else.

Typical reindeers and geometric patterns.

Two pieces of antler pegged together
The dark dots are wooden inserts, purely decorative.
The leather at the top has some age to it.
The pierced holes could possibly have been for laced decoration running between them.
The suspension ring at the top is probably bone. There would have been two of these originally.

All suggestions welcome.

Regards
Roy
