Question Fon recade

I stumbled across this Recade? today at a local car boot sale. Not strictly a weapon but if they are good enough for C. Springs. "African Arms and Armour" then it should be okay here. Not the best quallity but still a nice find. Must have belonged to somebody fairly low in the food chain but important enough to have one. The top and bottom pieces were silver plated, unusual but not unheard of. Length 50cm. I was certain it was African work but it took me some time to realise I was looking at a stylised lions head and mane . Howling for Wolf, what is your opinion?
