Maybe somebody needed a Bali scabbard Sid?
Unlike Javanese keris dress, Balinese keris dress is made specifically for each keris. In Jawa you can go to a market and have a wide choice of pre-made keris dress, and most Javanese keris are made within parameters that will permit most keris blades to fit most keris scabbards.
For Balinese keris the blade is given to a tukang wrongko & he makes the scabbard to fit.
