Authentic ethnographic arm bracelet attributed to the Fulani (Fulɓe) pastoral peoples of the Sahel region, Niger, Mali area, West Africa.

The heavy penannular form, triple-ribbed construction and fine herringbone file-work correspond with documented Fulani prestige adornment preserved in museum collections. Unlike trade currency metals, these ornaments functioned as visible indicators of social identity and personal wealth, worn during gatherings and ceremonial occasions.

Attribution based on stylistic and comparative analysis; precise origin cannot be definitively assigned without field documentation.
