       Left of the entrance is a man-sized Indian brass pot with an intricate design and a slick outline for only NT$38,000. To the right are African wood sculptures and masks and animal-shaped color candles (NT$490-1,000). In the middle are bracelets, rings and earrings with prices starting at NT$10, and natural stone necklaces from NT$100 to $18,500.
