Weapon or Tool?

Thanks guys, your comments have led me down more informative lines of enquiry and yes, a Chokwe (or simililar) Status "Sceptre" seems the most likely identification.

The triangular carvings and the use of imported brass furniture tacks are very similar to others from this region/culture. Curiously most of the sceptres I have seen are figural or bulbous, has anyone seen one with a similar "block" shaped head?

Cheers - Russel
