Description: | The ethnography material is the museum was largely collected before 1950, mainly in the period 1901-1935, and reflect the collecting and missionary activities of late 19th and early 20th century East Herts residents. Members of the Andrews family were missionaries in Africa and one was Bishop of Hokkaido, Japan. The strengths of the collections are in material from Central Africa, mainly Zaire, Japan, and to a lesser extent New Zealand. The two outstanding items are a late 19th century Royal Siamese prayer mat of plaited ivory strips, and a suit of Samurai armour
