Hello,

they (Afars, afarised Oromos, Kereyu) make it until now, it is part (but functional) of their dress. The most important (for me) is, if it is made for their own use, or to be sold to turists. I think this is not too much old (or maybe was not worn), but old traditional buckle and termination peace was used.
