Hello fearn, obviously I hope it is the real thing although there is little to suggest damage from use, like a lot of weapons. The scraping back of the wood makes sense. The carving would have to some degree a harsh and uneven surface, so it is then scraped back to a smooth aerodynamic form like the golf ball mention earlier. By the way what do you make of this African bean rattle you botanist huh.

Love those things. I used to whack students with 'em when I was teaching. Really Actually, it's always fun putting those down with a tahitian chestnut, a sea bean, a screw mesquite, and a couple of others, and saying, "yep, those are all beans, and they'll on be on the test." Their eyes are sooooo expressive.
