			It's from Burma or Yunnan, more likely Burma - Yunnan and it is traditionally  lacquer not tar, the scabbard is covered in rawhide at the top and this says its from Burma on the border of Tibet too, Burmo-Tibetan, but I'd say Burma Yunnan border because of the style, definitely from around that area and also 19thc too.
