Here is another historical document with a better description (note the last sentence!):

L. A. D. Montague - Weapons and Implements of Savage Races 1921, P.183/184

Best regards Peter

Thank you for the additional reference. It is really interesting how knowing its context has transformed this piece from "a neat thing to have" to " actually really cool".

On a side note, this piece was a gift from my father, who also gifted to me this year as Three Wise Men present a really nice béro sword of the Ngombe. He actually has absolutely no knowledge of antique weaponry, so I don't know if he has been lucky or has a natural keen eye for quality antiques.
