It is an exceptionally well decorated Somali billao. Probably the fanciest one I've seen.

Sorry that I cannot help you on the possible age of this but I can honestly say that this is by far the best looking Billao that I have ever seen. Congratulations for being so lucky to be able to acquire this.
