Georgina, It is thought that this sheath should have been part of the transfer of weapons from Bristol City Museum to the Horniman in 1966 (but was left behind- it has just emerged at Bristol). Could yu try it for size on the following; Indo persian/ Iran 6.9.66/37 sword &sheath, /55-56 swords, /59-60 swords. Thanks Ken.
Copper-tipped wooden sword scabbard, wrapped in leather. The metal tip depicts an animal.
