Robina Moraa Nyansera, a 109-year-old woman who dorns Gusii traditional anklets (Ebitinge). Moraa, who is estimated to be in 109 years old, did not walk down the aisle to proclaim her vows to her husband, Nyansera Omwenga, who died between 1930 and 1940. Hers was a traditional wedding known in Ekegusii as Enyangi yebitinge (the wedding of anklets) which was conducted by elders. The finished anklets would then be dyed in red ochre, obtained by crushing a type of red pebbles. Since she could no longer find the red ochre, Moraa recently decided to paint her anklets with bright red synthetic paint.
