Makonde masks

Makonde masks are very popular as souvenirs in Mozambique.

Each mask has a specific meaning such as masculinity, femininity, fertility, pregnancy, etc.

You can also find animal masks to enhance your interior decor.

Paintings

Mozambique is home to several local artists who create vibrant paintings on canvas, and you will find many details in their works that will instantly captivate you.

To choose the best option, stroll through the streets and purchase the artwork that resonates with your soul.

Spices

When visiting markets, you will find many local shops selling spices and salt. Well, that's because these offerings are among the most produced in Mozambique.

From paprika and peri-peri to tarragon and crushed chili peppers, there's plenty to add to your shopping list.

Be sure to stock up on local spices before you head home.

Jewelry

Jewelry is another fantastic gift for your loved ones or as a souvenir, as this picturesque country is known for garnet.

Garnet is a precious gemstone of a crimson-red color that is found in the country's mines.

It is used to create elegant jewelry, mostly necklaces, which you can purchase for yourself or your loved ones.

Batiks

Batiks are scarves made from brightly colored fabrics. They come in a variety of colors, designs, sizes, and shapes.
