Ancient Egyptian bracelet fragment from Diospolis Parva

One of 10 fragments from ivory bangle style bracelets. From two or more bangles of differing style. Also a bag of tiny fragments. Semi circular cross section, elongated into triangular points at both edges.
Some are more pronounced than in others. There appear to be four sections from one bracelet, and perhaps six from another. None of the pieces seem to fit together. The six pieces have a grey outer surface appearance. See notes below. Some of the pieces are extremely friable. Cream and grey in colour.
