The Moroccan method of tanning animal skins is unclean!

I have aquired a shopping basket from Morocco. Yesterday I was perusing the items at my local supermarket when I noticed the odor of dead and decaying animal wafting about me.

Jaysus! I thought, what is that stench? It isn't the food at Safeway, I hope. Then I turned my head and sniffed the leather strap attached to the straw basket. Pheeuuuwww!
