That is a Masai throwing club, usually used for hunting small game.

it's called a rungu, as noted, a Maasai throwing club.
Mine: One ebony, one probably olive. The offset head and the small nipple in the centre of the ball head are distinctive on these.

People call them 'tourist', but the Maasai use them anyway. Same with their spears
