A INTERESTING MANDAU FOR IDENTIFICATION

[VANDOO]

I BOUGHT THIS RECENTLY AS I LIKED THE BLADE AND ESPECIALLY THE UNUSUAL CARVING ON THE HANDLE. UNFORTUNATELY IT LACKS A SCABBARD OR A GRIP WRAP OR THE BEES WAX FERRULE. WOULD IT BE OK TO ADD A GRIP WRAP AND WAX FERULE OR BETTER LEFT AS IS.? I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY INFO ON THIS SUCH AS TRIBE , AGE, TYPE ,ECT. THE HANDLE IS CARVED DEER ANTLER, THE SWORD IS 29 INCHES LONG WITH THE CONCAVE PLAIN SIDE AND THE CONVEX SIDE WITH DECORATION, A GOOD QUALITY SHARP BLADE.
