it is new, arround 3 -4 years. the kind of fibula is old.the style is tamanrasset, the round in the bottom, you can see it on the photo i have as logo ( you have your cat )

the acacia wood is also new they have it since about 20 years.

Very nice but looks very new....Is that a new design? LIke Eva Had never heard of fibulae with acacia wood............I like the bottom bit with a flower like accretion and slightly different metal colour................Any meaning?

@Ait, did you see my question about the design of the Prophet'sandal on Kitabs?

it is hoggar region only. i never seen it in another touareg regions. it started actualy in Djanet. the touareg kingdom capital. djanet is also an oase city not far from other oase regions and the south side of the aures.from there came the fibula influence and went until tamanrasset
