He.llo earl,

This piece is Egyptian, from the beduoins of the desert of Sinai. This is called Hameedi or Seba'awi and is traded much throughout the Levant Palestine, Jordan and Syria. Pieces like these have been seen in these countries. Additionally, the design of the bracelet is particularly reminiscent of the Mamluki design of intertwining lines significant in Islamic art, which originated in Egypt. The mark is unknown to me but the piece is not.

Regards
