I agree I think they are from Chad.
I'm very surprised that no one told you that they are purely decorative/touristic items. Look at the material used, brass, and the barbs/fish bones badly cut and not sharp at all.

Hello, thanks for your comments. The truth is that i bought them out of curiosity (but on a tourist price...) Sometimes you win, sometimes you loose, but always learn...
