Ethiopian (?) quiver and arrows

FROM LOOKING AT THE PIC'S I WOULD SAY THEY WERE MADE FOR ACTUAL USE BY LOCALS. OF COURSE A TOURIST COULD HAVE BOUGHT THEM FOR A SOUVINEER, BUT IT LOOKS TO BE THE REAL DEAL. AS TO AGE IF IT WAS BOUGHT NEW AND NEVER USED, IT STILL COULD HAVE SOME AGE TO IT. ESPECIALLY IF IT HAS JUST BEEN USED AS A WALL HANGER OR LEFT IN A BOX OR DRAWER.

THE ARROWS LOOK SMALL AND OF A DESIGN TO PENETRATE AND HOLD PERHAPS USING POISON TO BRING DOWN THE GAME. THE QUIVER DOES LOOK PHALLIC BUT IF THAT IS FOR SOME PURPOSE OR OF SIGNIFICENCE I DON'T KNOW IT. CONGRADULATIONS A WELL MADE AND COMPLETE SET WITH NO DAMMAGE.

It evokes Midgan quiver (Ethiopia - Somalia), but I would say this quiver is comming from the central part of Sahel region, probably from Niger.
