I know faked Judaica is notoriously common, but it only cost me $60 for both of them, and I don't think the seller realized what they were since he didn't even mention they were Jewish. What's strange is that doesn't look like a [I]chai [/I]in the Star of David- it looks like a [I]het[/I]. Can't wait to go back to Morocco. I spent a lot of time at a flea market at the edge of the medina because I thought the souk was just filled with over-priced touristy stuff, until the last day when I strayed from the center of the souk and realized there were actual dealers with great prices on the outskirts.
