African objects

A cultural discovery of South Africa from Tokyo-eye.

I dared to an open market nearby. Of course, all the shop are run by black people. I was the only Asian there.

As a starter, I bought two objects. One is "mother and child ($10)" the other is "thinking man.($3)" ,after nice and pleasant price negotiation.

Though both are made for tourists, the quality is not so bad for the price.

Maybe these are far from real art....

My discovery into real African art has just begun.

ちょっと勇気を出して近所の骨董マーケットに行ってみた。店は全部黒人。アジア人は僕だけ。ちょっと心細い。

母と子、考える人というオブジェが気に入り、値切って約＄１０、＄３でGET。

観光者向けの商品だけど、結構レベルは高い。とはいえ、本物には程遠いんだろうな。これからです。
