Caledonian bird head club;calling Vandoo

I have what I believe to be a Caledonian Bird head club; it doesn't necessarily fit all of the criteria, i.e. the pommel, etc. however it is close enough.It measures approx. 20 " in length, the bird head is approx. 9.5" long and 3 " wide as well as the handle being 1.75 " in dia. at it's widest.
What I don't understand is the wrap;is it a repair or does it serve some other purpose.It appears to be some type of processed bark with a hemp wrap.I hope I didn't appear to be too familiar by invoking your name Vandoo, but you seem to know quite a bit about clubs ;any others who might wish to comment would also be appreciated !
