definitely NOT african.

the brits of course had colonial ties with india, pakistan, afghanistan and africa, and it's possible an official or military person collected it in india, carried it to africa and it remained there after he died or left for elsewhere, and was aquired by an african family who treasured it and passed it down until it's story was forgotten.
