Its good stuff!   

   But very short.   
 
Are these from Indonesia, PI or maybe even somewhere in-between?  Were they worn on the person or hung up on a wall?  It seems they are meant to hold a sword... or some kind of weapon.
Thanks Spunjer, I am getting old and senile...  
 
Gee, this is just what I need... a new area to collect (my wife is going to kill me and then hang my new sword from it).
