Nice sheath! I have also heard comparisons of Cirebon motifs to Chinese ones. The clouds are similar to the way they are depicted in some Chinese relief carving. Another couple of motifs that were associated with Chinese influence are the chained swastika and the 'meandering belt'.

I can't find reference pics at the moment...
