Very nice bracelet, kyra. Good spotting. I saw it, but did not comment.
Without a history, or additional carving in a distinctive style, it would be hard to place. Could be from anywhere elephants occurred in Africa.

"Until recently, elephants roamed over most of sub-Saharan Africa, and ivory was carved over an equally vast portion of the continent. Ivory was used for horns and personal ornaments such as combs and bracelets in almost all parts of Africa. However, several areas stand out as important centers for ivory carving, notably the coast of Sierra Leone, Benin and the Yoruba kingdoms of Nigeria, and the Kongo and Lega regions of Zaire. These areas were not necessarily those in which ivory was most plentiful, but those in which a greater part of the local supply and that obtained through trade was made available to carvers."
