Another Madurese scabbard in sandang walikat style with horn inserts, these are not that rare IMO.

Could these horn pieces be repairs? Both the buntut and the joint the wranka are areas that are frequently stressed.

IMO these horn pieces could be either stylistic additions, or repairs, or for increasing the scabbard length and matching the blade length.
