Description
Ghost-white linen sheets billow over the colonial cobblestone, creating an image one never forgets. The best of the craft of embroidery and weaving has been inherited from colonial times and can be found at the Trinidad Craftsmanship Market. It is the biggest of its kind in the city. Handcrafted by folk artisans, wood-carvings, clay-bead necklaces, inlaid wooden coffers and figurines made of yarey and guano (palm fibres) await selection by the eye. Seek out the Orisha religious figurines and miniature animals and devils. Food vendors sell fresh fruit and used books can be found.
