N American? Africa? weapon?

[Tim Simmons]

Just picked this interesting item. Sold as an African fly switch. However at 80cm long the wood end is quite substantial. I think enough so to work as a hammer club or even a pick. It is also not very ergonomic in form to be a fly switch in my eyes. Something about it seems not African to me. I searched AMNH database N America and Africa , still have hopes of America. I need to see it against other objects to get a better understanding of size and weight.
