Interesting African Arm Dagger

I like nearly everything about this dagger very much. Actually, the filigree/stone on the pommel is the only part that jars my appreciation - and forgive me for imposing my own aesthetic standards on a different culture. The filigree work puts me in mind of Yemen, leading me to assume an origin toward the eastern coast of Africa. However, it's merely my unsupported opinion.
