ok, thanks for the link. I paid for a big and a smaller one 260 AED together... Mine look pretty similar, the painting is a bit different, kind of a mosque with a flowery addition...

Hi sallystreet and Nici, The reason I asked is because I saw them in Al Ain today. I didn't stop to have a chat with the seller but was curious what the RRP in Dubai was! Will be heading back to have a look though. N.B. For a picture of the trunk go to this link http://myoasisliving.com/digital_version/nov_dec/index.html and then go look at page 65

most welcome - glad I could actually help instead of always looking for something myself. Casta - I very much doubt they could paint some on - whenever I ask whether they will have bigger ones or other colours, I get a sort of a no ! More a question of looking often. I think they come from somewhere else. Usually you can get either red/fuchsia with sort of oriental towers or abstract shapes, or you can have turquoise with the same. they do have plain however and you could do your own.

Nici what were the prices like? Do you know if they can paint a design of your own choosing?
