On close inspection I think this has been done by leaf after the construction of the object. I have information on gold work and leaf from West Africa but nothing on real sub-Saharan Africa. The question is-- has the leaf been made locally or is it an import? I can see no reason why Songye? smiths/artists did not have the skills or materials at hand. I do not think Songye means an isolated people.
