Featured Help ID ulu-type carved tool ?

I'd love some help solving the provenance of this Ulu-'style' (Eskimo/Inuit multi-purpose knife) cutting/chopping tool.
Piece is 6 1/4" long by 4 1/2" across,blade is very firmly wedged into the handle-no trace of wiggle.
Haven't found any Inuit carvings of rooster-combed birds on their artifacts, and the crescent-shaped Inuit ulu blade is always mounted in-line/parallel to the handle.
To my untrained eyes the crude carving seems to be made of mahogany, age of the blade's beyond my guesstimating.Thanks All for the help !

interesting item........ I have not seen one before..

 

Puzzler to me too-still looking.No ulus w/ a 90 degree blade mount that i've seen yet.

 

I doesn't look like a cutting tool.......

 

Think it might be a scraper,African,SE Asian ? Maybe it's not a tool (as we usually define it) at all ?

 

I see it as a rocker-cutter, using 2 hands like you would on a mini-rolling pin...the blade perpendicular to your face, the grip manipulated with open palms down. The blade will have been sharpened on both faces for that usage...an' one face only if it was meant to be a scraper.
I've been wrong before, though...

 

Def a possibility Whit. Wonder if it was a primitive home-made 'one off' ?

 

The tang may have been 'burnt into' the grip, which seems to have been well-enough done that it's wobble-free secure...that speaks of mature skill with steel, wood an' heat. Home-made perhaps...but aside from the carving, not primitive, imho. I wish I could hold it in my hot little hands fer a closer look, Amigo.

 

It may be a type of "lunellum", a tool used for scraping skins for making parchment. Some lunellums are single handled, but some have cross bars oriented like yours -

Hah! It IS a scraper...a lunellum!
Now I really wanna examine it more closely.
I'm especially impressed with this small detail:
The joint where the blade meets the grip shows the blade very slightly an' cleanly recessed into the wood...which is a clever way of adding a measure of stability to the blade, reducing a twisting load on the (probably square or rectangular) tang while the tool is in use. Is the edge flat on one side, or conventionally sharpened?
There's more to your sweet find than immediately meets the eye, Bosko!

 

@wlwhittier it's solid as a rock & fits in my right hand perfectly (single handed scraper).
@2manybooks the Lunellum/hide scraper theory makes real sense.When I hold it in the most comfortable position, a single-handed downward scraping action seems most natural.
Thanks for the help.
