Rysyonok Posted January 13, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 13, 2015 A couple of years ago we were in Marigot, and in the open market we found a vendor with amazing carvings made out of a local nut tree. Sadly we never got her name, and there are no initials of any kind on the ones we purchased. I tried searching internet for her, but I had no luck. All I remember is she was Caucasian, in her thirties, slender, with dark hair. I want to say she was next to a rug vendor. Has anyone else seen these products in Marigot recently?

cruzermon Posted January 14, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 14, 2015 The nuts are tagua, and, I believe, come from South America. She is a fixture at the market, so if you make a visit, she'll probably be there. We've bought a few pieces from her, after learning about them in Panama. If you are looking for a contact, let me know, as I think I may have some literature from her with contact info...if, if?, I can find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to be in the area in April, and she is the only reason I'd go to Marigot back again so soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
