Interesting item, Papua New Guinea?

I recently picked up an interesting lot of mainly Papua New Guinea items and this was included and so I think that it could also be from that area, even though to me it has a somewhat Polynesian or even Northwest American Indian Flavor.
I also thought that it could be a type of percussion instrument, but it has the remnants of some type of powder or dye, so I wonder if it might be a container of some sort.
It measures 19" long.
