The Greenmarket in downtown Cape Town is a one-block square of temporary stalls where you can buy necklaces, masks, figurines, bowls, baskets, T-shirts, dresses, batiks, wooden carvings, and very few pieces of pottery, oddly enough. Most of what you see in one booth is also available in the third one down on the right at the same price. Most of the stuff is from cottage industry arts-and-crafts centers through the country and nearby countries, like Zimbabwe. Click on a picture to see it full-sized. |
