Very interesting things to see indeed. I'm Nigerian and I've seen a lot of stuff like these but we don't have markets for them, none that I know of, atleast. I only see them in traditional ceremonies, shrines and on some traditional regalia.
I'd like to know, do these things smell? Was this market smelly, because of all the dead stuff?
Ok my name is Leif, Swedish heritage but US born. I assume these type of things you speak of go back to the traditional nordic beliefs?
Nope. They're ancient African polytheistic religious stuffs.
Oh ok cool.
