Early Wooden LongBow or Tribal?

That bow is big and what a beautiful finish. I do not think it is European . It could be African, I had a big polished self bow and could only identify it as African by the string being hide. This bow could be from India to Oceanic. Bows are not always notched. Perhaps the cross section will help point us to where it was made. I will look in my books. Somebody from here will find the answer in time.
