Ethnographic Arms & Armour - View Single Post - Another very interesting and unusual item

This piece was so unsual and unlike anything I had seen before I picked it up simply for the curio value. However, I think it has a little age to it(at least pre-1940's) and seems to be a ceremonial object. It has one brass ring left that is affixed to the circular portion of this object so I think it may have been used in dancing. Any ideas as to origin of this piece?
