A Great Gile

Hi Battara,
Congratulations to this nice Afar Chief ! Let me allow to take this opportunity to post again the picture of my old catch, which is similar to yours.

Re. "Arab similarity" - there is also one aspect. They used to wear it always - like jambiyas in Yemen - I would say as a part of the costume and life style. On the stomach - but not vertically, like in Yemen, but horizontally.
