Club trivia! Second example! Take a guess!

So I have looked and looked and can’t find the reference. I do recall seeing an identical club in a museum database and they referenced a particular tribe in Ecuador. The club very much resembles Brazilian clubs but doesn’t have the typical patterned wrap like the Kayapo clubs but it does have the similar dome shaped top. The work at the bottom of the grip is similar to but different than the Brazilian examples. Also, this one is a reddish wood and most of the Brazilian examples of this form I have seen are brownish. Unsure if Ecuador is right but hopefully that museum example will turn up for me one day.
