Early Wooden LongBow or Tribal?

Fortunately, I've seen something almost identical to this before. The one I saw was a bow from St Vincent (in the West Indies) with a history that could be traced as far back as the 18th century. The quality of the work, and the finish struck me as remarkable.

I don't know how widespread that C-shaped cross-section was in South America, but my guess would be to think in terms of somewhere north of the Amazon.
