The flared form of this wooden scabbard indicates that it was made to house a barong blade, probably belonging to the Maranao, Tausug, or Yakan people. The upper section features incised scroll-like motifs, similar to the stylized floriate designs common in southern Philippine <em>okir</em> carving traditions. Several bands of rattan lashings reinforce the sheath, adding both structural stability and decorative rhythm.
