Nice. The wire appears to be of industrial origin. The tack is of a type commonly seen a cheap new version now, but such are a copy of an older type, so I can't really say. The wire being industrial doesn't mean it's new, of course. Old native African wire I've seen is forged, not drawn, so it's quite distinquishable, but wire was a popular early trade good from modern Europe.
