Tanzanian swagger/fighting stick?

Would more be an 'African army knife', no ?

Here's another one which I showed acquired quite some time ago in a lot of African clubs. It came from ebay and the seller was convinced these were drum sticks (that's why I got them so cheap,

)

It's a club from the Gogo-tribe in Tansania. Here shown next to some 'ordinary' clubs.
The 'body' of this club is peculiar with the swelling. And I see a monkey's head when I look at the top part.
