White metal bangle, possibly Middle Eastern ID help please

Post by user701 »

I would like to ID the country of origin of this bangle, I think it is Middle Eastern, not sure which country, as yet I have no luck in pin pointing the mark on the exterior of the bangle. It also has a pin clasp (I think that's what its called anyway) that someone enlightened me is of Arabic / Middle Eastern tradition.

The whole bangle:

The mark:

Thank you for any help with the origin and if possible the age of the bangle would be appreciated.

Hello,
This is a Yemeni piece from an area called Hadramout worn by the Bedu.
