I have finally finished the scabbard. IT is made of wood and silver sheet with Mandaya design done in their traditional method of what I have called "pin prick" chasing, with some piercing work. Most of the designs are variations of the crocodile motif. There is black rattan binding in between the silver pieces.
Enjoy

Thank you folks. Based the designs on what I found in Cole's Wild Tribes of Davao District and my other Mandaya bolo piece with original silvered scabbard.
