Indigenous Market

We visited the Indigenous Market today in downtown PV today. There were many craftspeople working on their wares. Entire families bring goods to the market so there were a lot of beautiful children playing between the booths. This man is painting a carved wooden horse with his fingers.

Very intricate beading is displayed and sold at several booths. The traditional costumes add colour and authenticity to the market.

We have seen a lot of ceramics during our stay here but there are more intricate and diverse patterns on the creations at this market. Every piece is hand painted and while there is repetition in theme, each is beautiful. The painted wooden bowls are particularly unique.

It is even possible to have a massage at one of several unique tents. This masseuse has angels guarding the entry way and welcoming you to the privacy of her canopied tent!
