More plunder from my travels - the first one might need some explanation, it's a hollow gourd about 18" high into which tiny drawers have been fitted - and the blob on the top is a stylised head; the base is half a coconut. Surreal. Then: a mask; a carved and painted wooden plate; and a painted wooden fish. My flat is already starting to look a bit overcrowded with "objets", but I find this sort of shopping irresistible. They're wonderful things and I'm rubbish at bargaining (the sellers always look very happy with the final price, so from their point of view I'm a patsy) - so I can tell myself I'm helping the local economies.
