Nice primitive weapon. I like the delicate curve of the blade; contrasts with the hammered texture.
Other than that I have nothing to advance the information.
Being unfamiliar with African weapons I note the sheath is unlined leather, reminiscent of a Masai seme. I don't know if that would provide an aid in identification; the only other sheathed weapons I possess from the area are leather-covered wood, one being a Mahdist dagger from Sudan, the other a Manding.
