Strange unknown knife for id

Yes West African knives do have that piece on the forte normally brass and often engraved. This one looks a little back woods to me, made away from the normal centers of manufacture. The question is where? in West Africa which could include Gabon and the Congo. Is it from the arid regions or the forrests? I am not sure it is from any of the arid areas but I do not really know, just does not fit with the other stuff I have from these regions. Tim
