We found a great little curio place tucked away on a street in Ho, run by a friendly Touareg man from Mali, who understood the concept of not hassling. Amongst his Dogon fertility dolls and other carvings, we found this beautiful leather embossed box made by a man from Niger.

Traditional kente

A beautiful huge piece of kente cloth, made up of about 17 strips. A piece like this would traditionally be worn by a man (too big for a woman) of high stature in the community.
