This collection comprises a diverse group of items from various global regions. Included are two carved wooden boomerangs; one features a branded logo for Bushland and is marked Australian Made, while the other is incised with kangaroo silhouettes. A dark wood carved figure depicts a stylized standing human form in a style consistent with East African folk art. A hand-woven beaded sash or headband features Cyrillic script transcribing to Bishkek and Kyrgyzstan. A small porcelain commemorative pin dish with a gilded rim features a blue portrait of Margaret Thatcher with text identifying her as the first woman Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. The collection includes a 2018 FIFA World Cup commemorative coin in a blue folder featuring the mascot Zabivaka, alongside a white Maldives souvenir t-shirt with a manta ray graphic by Pink Coral Art. Currency and ephemera include a Kenyan 20 Shillings banknote featuring President Daniel arap Moi, a colour postcard of Kyrgyzstan, and a small London double-decker bus keychain. Textiles consist of a large contemporary woven wall hanging with geometric patterns, wooden supports, and brass-toned bells, and a printed fabric panel titled Aboriginal Bark Painting. A string of approximately 50 polished wooden prayer beads and several small grey stone spheres are also present.
