This one looked like the only one almost intentionally gargoyle-like. Most of them were just decorative borders and such. Went to another place where the owner had kilim downstairs and carpets upstairs, so up we went. He brought us apple tea and showed us some nice small carpets. About 40 years old.
Tourism is down so much that the carpet dealers are offering good prices.
Quite a surprise. Apparently, Joe had run into them earlier at the market, and they had suggested he go to the Citadel where he ran into us. Then when he left us, he walked past the hotel where they were sitting out and he joined them. Quite a surreal series of events, but I guess North Americans do stand out here. Joe is an interesting man, a former NYC policeman, now a Private Investigator.
