Question Strange African axe or club

This is also a new one. The seller told me it was a 'Tamberma axe' from Togo. Don't know if this is true. I don't think it's very old, but I like it. It's strange !

The wooden handle has been covered in leather. What attracted me to this piece was the 'business end'. It has an arrow shaped blade.

When I received it, I noticed that the top of the axe (or club) is one piece of iron. It's quite heavy.

Total length : 54 cm

Length of axe blade : 17 cm
