Help to Id an date an old carved and painted wooden panel

[eggiacalus]

Hello everyone,

I would need your help to be able to identify and date this craft work, carried out on a carved and painted wooden panel.

The panel is large, measures 40 cm and the wood is quite heavy.

The edge is very thick, it varies depending on the processing, from a minimum of 2.5 cm up to 3.5 cm

The hook is quite old and could help in dating

At the top a little to the right, I can see a signature, a name, but I can not understand well.

From the technique and from the subject it seems to me an old African work, but I am not very expert in this field and I turn to you for help.

I thank everyone for the time lent to my post

when looking at the back you can see the long bumps/grooves from a machine planer. So that should help give a clue. it def was not a sawn and hand planed. so i would say early to mid 1900's at the oldest but could be from the 1980's for all I know.
