No; i will have to ask the seller, although most probably he has bought it in a street fair and will not help

I theorize that it is a lucet, a device used for making cord for the last thousand years…size and shape seem about right, as does the wear polish…

I saw this on Fagan's militaria site... he describes it as a Sudanese War club (?)

alternatively, it could just as easily be an ancient egyptian can opener.
