hi
In African weapons by Fischer and Zirngibl it's attributed to the Lege in the north east of Congo.
I dodelijk mooi, weapons from Central Africa it's attributed to the Mabendi in the north east of Congo.
Same region, different tribes. The knife sheath is the same as yours, but knife handle is different.
Fischer's book is't without errors.
best regards
