Its probably from Southern Africa, but not all that old.

Thank you Martin.
If I may ask you both, what are the specific signs that indicate in your opinion the two possible origins? |

I bought nearly the same on Omo river in Ethiopia some time ago - at least the shape is the same. The bulbous part is a little bit flattened from the sides, creating something like edge. On the other side - if there are beads on the handle (see second Picture) - this is mostly the sign of southern Africa (but not only).
