Yemeni Wahabi Gile or Qolxad?

Good, When I bid on it I was thinking the "expert's" description was wrong and it was an Afar Gile. Then I stumbled across the wiki entry. Anyhow, I like this one, the ones with the brass conehead hat, not so much. There was one with the cone in the same sale, described by the same "expert" as Somali. As far as I've been bothered to look, the wiki references they give do not support Yemen at all, the three or 4 places outside wiki seem to just plagiarise wiki

and are a bit circular. they ref. a french website where Yemen is not mentioned. So I consulted the more reliable members here

Thanks again
