Rare old large vintage antique african carved tribal ox bone bangle bracelet

Rare

Here we have a very beautifull aged tribal bangle made from a natural material. The piece is well worn and has the rich patina on the inside edge that is expected from a piece

of this quality and age.  I believe this piece dates from the early 20c  c1900 and has a later repair c 1930s-50s .The piece is in good condition allthough it has had a repair. You can see that the piece has plate riveted on to it to secure a crack. It also has 3 pins around the same area securing the bangle.  I am not sure of the tribe that this is from but is possbly sudanese, it could be Dinka it could be Anuak, Nuer or Shulluk?

Please feel free to correct me if i am wrong.

The bangle measures: 12cm x 15cm and has a inner circumference of approx 20cm

Thanks for looking and good luck!
