Ethnic bow can anyone identify

Hi
I just picked up the attached bow
1.3 M in length
Approx 20 mm diameter
One end squared off and one end in a cone shape
Rattan binding at two tips and in middle
Wood is black but white on inside

I know it is a v v long shot but anyone got any ideas as to where it may be from

Am I correct in thinking one end of string would be iced to bow and the other end attached to a piece of horn or a cone of some sort that would be slipped over the end when you wanted bow to be operational.
The purpose of this so as not to have bow taught all the time

Ideas of origins awaited
