Rungu?

Good afternoon all. I recently acquired this club and bought it labelled as a Maasai ’Rungu’. After receiving the item, although happy with it, and looking at other examples online I’m now unsure of its origins.

It’s got some age to it but I wouldn’t venture exceptionally old. It measures 51 cm long and has grooves cut toward the head end. The shaft has a palm swell also.

Can anyone please identify or confirm it’s origins? Also what is the 2 tone wood it has been made from please?

Many thanks
