Very few of the items appear to be crafted by the community. Most of the statues I saw were most certainly imported, much of it from nepal and tibet, and worth enough that they never would have been thrown out even if damaged (which none of them appeared to be), but rather repaired and worth a lot of money.
The musical stuff looked salvaged, the paintings original, the rugs look all in good shape and imported, the furniture mostly imported the rest salvaged.
That big garuda alone would have sold for $20k.
Their artisticness appears to be in the arranging of the items, not the making of them.
If you look at photos of the place there was easily several hundred thousand worth of stuff crammed in there.
