Default A CHOORA and a few questions

Finally got a Choora, seems quite old, was heavily rusted with a very thick layer of black 'stablised' rust. Cleaned it up ....could probably do with a bit more.
Would anyone have any ideas as to age? tribe/ or Region?
The handle is horn and I pressume ..bone. Small inserted 'dots' of light blue and red....no idea what material they are made from and two larger creamy coloured 'dots' ...again, of unknown material.

Would it be wise to clean the blade further? OAL 11"

Any help or comments gratefully received, thank you

David
