Sheath with wrangka made from one piece of wood. The gandar is not visible, because it is inside a metal pendok (outer sheath). The wood of the wrangka has a pronounced grain to it. The pendok is damaged and is decorated with diagonal bands containing foliate and triangular motifs alternately. At the top end of the pendok it flares out, possibly a separate piece.
