It looks African and I thought Tuareg. The tribal geometry on the leather work is stunning...

Whilst probably impossible to find another example as they are all different here are some other decorated leather items of Tuareg design..

Thank you Ibrahim,
Yes this leather work remembrer me some Tuareg dagger scabbard ,specially the geometry and the color too.

I can not confirm Tuareg, but IMHO looks certainly North African. The powder cut off lever STYLE is much the same as those found on some Moroccan flasks. Nice and interesting piece.
