I have no idea but here's an image and partial description from the site:
" The pouch is suspended by silver chains comprised of elongated, flat, S-scrolled and beaded links from a kilt attachment clip terminating in a circular finial comprising the head & shoulders effigy of a bearded Highlander with Balmoral bonnet, sword, shield and a thistle."

Purely as a guess. I wonder if there was a wee pocket sewn into the back and on the inside of his kilt belt for the "spade" thing to fit into? Rather like the pockets in the collar tips for shirts for the collar stays to fit into. Doing so, would certainly keep the sporran Centred. Is it my imagination that this sporran and chain is/was for quite a slim gentleman, or child, or perhaps it was just a show piece?

the listing does indicate it's a child size sporran
