kenya turkana, throwing club or tool?

TWO UNUSUAL CLUBS OR TOOLS JUST ENDED ON EBAY. THERE WAS NOT MUCH INFORMATION ON THEM JUST KENYA, TURKANA TRIBE CLUBS.
THE SMALLER ONE BEING 17 INCHES LONG. THE SHORT ONE REMINDS ME OF THE BOOMERANG LIKE THROWING STICKS USED TO THROW INTO FLOCKS OF FLYING BIRDS.
THE LONGER ONE PERHAPS WOULD SERVE BETTER AS A WAR CLUB BUT LOOKS A BIT THIN ON THE SHAFT. HAS ANYONE SEEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS OF AFRICAN ORIGIN?
