These clay figures represent the folks one sees daily here. The one on the left of the group is pulling a cart of plantains, charcoal and potatoes to the market; the one on the top is pushing a wheelbarrow full of cut sugarcane that people eat like candy here; the gentleman on the right shines shoes for a living and the guy on the bottom is often seen with tons of children around him. He has a block of ice in his cart from which he takes shavings, puts them into a small plastic cup and drenches it with various fruity syrups (the original sno-cone). These figurines are all small and handmade. The artisan will be working on a manger set which I'll post.
