Vintage Ethnic Bamboo Quirt Wood Stick With Braided Horse Hair Tail

Here for your consideration is what I think is a Quirt Wood stick. I am not sure of the ethnicity of it. It is bamboo so possibly Asian. It may be some kind of tourist piece. The wood is bamboo and measures 11: long and 2.25" wise. It has glass beads tied at one end. The other end has holes so not sure if something is missing there. The hair is horse hair and braided into a tail. It measures 19: long. The piece has some age and wear but the hair is in good shape. It is overall in good displayable condition.
