Included is a rectangular wooden box decorated with vertical bone inlays and white dotting. The collection also contains a carved coconut mask with fibre whiskers, a wooden book trough, a turned dark wood circular box with a brass insert, and an embroidered blue textile drawstring pouch with floral motifs. Further items include a silver-toned handheld vanity mirror, a circular copper-toned plaque depicting St. Basil’s Cathedral, a leather belt with stamped patterns, a bamboo steamer, and small botanical specimens in acrylic blocks.
