A Most Unusual Axe;Prestige, Dance or Souvenir Piece?iece

I recently got this with a group of other axes and this one has me a little mystified. The blade and the furnishments are aluminum with some small brass embellishments. It is clearly not a tool or a weapon so that only leaves the choices of a prestige piece, a dance item, or a souvenir.
It is very nicely made and if it hadn't come with a group of African items, I might have thought that it could possibly have other origins.
Any insight would be appreciated.
