It is African or Aus. The rings are described as hide. Would hide be used traditionally in Aus, prior to white invasion the biggest animal would have been a kangaroo? Do you get think hide from kangaroo? I would think there skin was more fine like dear or sheep. Hide used like this makes me think of cattle. Do the Masai and others keep cattle? Perhape the rings help the polished wood club stay in your belt.
