I think this is African, Sudanese as in the Fuzzy-Wuzzy and all that. I had something similar which I rather stupidly swapped and then saw one in the Pitt Rivers museum, even with the very same punch used for the decoration. That was some time back but it was a lesson learned, not to dismiss things that do not hit you between the eyes at first glance.
