Beautiful baskets from Nigeria are displayed and sold by Tunji (pronounced  'Tunegy' or 'Tune G').  

Tunji represents West African Arts Imports and can explain the different styles of weaving of baskets, fans, baby rattles and more.  

Be sure to ask him to show you the 'West African tooth brushes'. You won't believe it, but they work as I saw while I was there earlier this year.  

He's a charming fellow and a great addition to the Shoreline Farmer's Market. The market is open Saturdays from 10am - 3pm from now until October 6th.
