Saleh

Saleh was weaving and selling his baskets at the side of the road. I stopped off to say hi.  After chatting a while, we realised that we met about 10 years ago when he was weaving at one of the craft heritage buildings. Here he is making me a woven horse. He then made me a camel. He has been weaving since the age of about 10.
