With the leather covering it would be from the West Africa/Sahel region.
From the images it looks quite crudely made, so its possible its a souvenir item made for sale, but this is often difficult to determine. Regards. |

Colin, thanks for the answer. I really appreciate it.
This is probably not the first thing I should buy but got it from a friend and I think it was nice of him. Probably a tourist thing. Best, Stefan Sweden |

Hi,
I brought nearly the same years ago from Ethiopia. Typical staff "used" by various guards (zabaňa). Best, Martin |
