Sandalwood Carvings
These sandalwood artworks were so intricately carved that you think needles were used to whittle them. These are definitely museum pieces.

Pashmina
Namaste Arts & Objects also offers pashminas in all colors. Pashmina is a type of cashmere wool which comes from the changtangi or pashmina goat indigenous to the Himalayan plateau. One goat sheds approximately 80-170g (3-6 ounces) of the fiber. Pashminas are hand-spun, woven and sometimes embroidered. The Nepalese had been manufacturing cashmere for thousands of years. The water pashminas at the top photo sell for P1,800 each. The larger hand-embroidered shawl below sell for a much higher price. Namaste also sells shawl made of yak wool for those cold windy nights.
