Description: | The main countries represented by this collection are: China, Japan, India, the Middle East and North Africa. There are individual items from Korea, Burma, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Borneo, Papua New Guinea; Micronesia, Fiji, Polynesia, Australia, New Zealand, North America, South America, Oceania and Sub Saharan Africa.
The collection developed as a result of Cornishmen collecting while abroad, so the material is varied and not comprehensive in any particular area, though intrinsically interesting. |
