Description

Antalya's Turkish bazaar is full of vendors selling tea, art, souvenirs, and the chance to learn about your future, courtesy of white rabbits. In this picture, two white rabbits sit on a miniature carpet. After smelling your hands, they'll select your fortune from a pool of notes hidden in the drawers of the stand.

The platform is designed with a canopy-like structure, adding to the mystical aura of the setting, and is decorated with red ornaments at the top, enhancing the festive and magical atmosphere.

Below the rabbits, the platform has several drawers, each with bright red handles, suggesting a place where fortunes or magical items might be stored. The front of the platform is decorated with rows of pink beads, possibly representing some form of divination tool or decorative element, adding to the whimsical nature of the scene. The use of gold for the structure gives it an opulent, almost sacred feel, as if this setup is meant for a special ritual or ceremony.

I took this picture while on a visit to Antalya, Turkey, in May 2018.
