The Barter Zone

Sidewalks are lined up with vendors like these at every tourist stop. What one starts to notice is that they all sell the exact same masks and figurines. Yet when questioned they each insist that their uncle joe or aunt sally carved them by hand up in the hills of Mpumulonga. In my search for something unique, I ended up buying this rather rudimentary mask that looks like it has fetal alcohol syndrome that obviously was not made in a factory.
