Hi Arjan face grips are much longer in use by the Iban people so it could be
that the koetai people take it over from the Iban and developed their own style

Thanks Arjan,

There isn't much carving on this sheath.
On the backside there is animal fur.
The only carving is at the lower end of the scabbard.
