The animal market in Kashgar is an ancient tradition. Each Sunday herders come together to sell their stock. Here several men discuss the attributes and value of the sheep, a mainstay of the Muslin diet.
Even though the discussions are animated about an animals worth, the real bargaining takes place discreetly within the clasping of hands.
It appears to be a handshake, yet in the Kashgar Sunday animal market a transaction is taking place with how the fingers move and the hands are clasped.
