Afar Gile/Jile
 

Hi
what do you think about this gile/jile. Could any of you give me some idea as to possible age? Is not old may be, but a autentic gile....a piece that as been used...

I would appreciate any comments or information you may have.
Thanks in advance for any comments.

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.
