Thanks, Ann. I like the shot, but I wish I could have gotten a clearer image. The sun was glaring outside and the vendors were all in the shade of the veranda.
We were assured by our local guide that the program still requires that the vendors belong to a registered tribe and stamp their work with a personal signature, and that all the items for sale are legitimate and authentic, and in the tradition of both the artist and his or her tribe. We were also told that the items being sold anyplace else in or around the plaza could be authentic or could be cheap Chinese copies.
