A place where you can find traditional stuff to buy as gifts for your family members and friends, but you will find a variety of stuff, just similar things among the shops

This place is a community of shops selling interesting souvenirs. Bargain, and bargain hard.

Metal artifacts are not from Gabon, and so aren't clothes.
