Ive had a couple very similar, early in my collecting days  .
Those were made about 20 to 30 years ago as a weapon in the phillipeans.

In the Philippines, a whip or latigo similar to the Vandoo's item is not used as a weapon per se, but in the same fashion as described by Sajen in Indonesia. It is used by an albularyo (medicine man, shaman) to drive away evil spirits or in exorcisms.
