Question African, that's all I know

I found this African sword last week. I tried to find it's origin, but I can use some help.

This sword has a sheath made from animal hide. The shape is a bit peculiar. The stitching on the front reminds me of sheaths from Cameroon.
The wooden handle has two stylized heads. The blade itself is simple and not very sharp. The point is peculiar.

I just can't find a picture of a sword with a similar shape.

Total length (in sheath) : 62,5 cm
Length of sword : 51,5 cm
Length of handle : 14,5 cm
Lenght of blade : 37 cm
