    • Name of Shop: Siaka

    I have spent almost two years in Mali. I like local craft and Dogon antiques.
    Siaka is my special provider. You ask him what you want and he can provide. You want local tourist craft, he can provide. You want a real Dogon mask or a Touareg old saber, he will bring it to you and the best prices of the country.

    What To Buy: I bought a real Kanaga mask, Bogolan, masks and Touareg arts, etc. Anything from the country.

    What To Pay: Tell him you are the friend of Frédéric and Juniana, you will have a better price
