Traditional artisan shop at fair prices

Laksala is a traditional handicraft shop in Sri Lanka, with fixed prices as declared by the government. I thought it was fairly cheap, and it's great if you don't like to haggle for hours. Everything is a fair price, which guarantees the artisan a decent wage. Tourists are also guaranteed an authentic product, great for jewellery and gemstones. Sure you can find things cheaper, but they will be lower quality or fake. There are leather objects, beautiful bird, snakes and gods masks to protect you from all evil, and little details to take home. They made us a straw box to protect the objects inside, but they did not seem very used to it.
