This looks very much like work from the Solomon Islands. The pointy end is a classic terminal to club and dance staff ends. It looks reletively light but along with big heavy club armed warriors you would need faster lighter clubs working in the mix. The carving is very nice, superb placing of all the elements that make the club. Here is a picture of a form from the same inspiration. "Solomon Island art, The Conru Collection"
