I continued strolling around the various Museum galleries, letting myself be astounded by the numerous variety of artefacts, many of which from countries I would almost certainly never have a chance to visit.
Funerary stelas - South west of Sumba - Indonesia
19th -20th century Kaliman Statues - Indonesia, Borneo
13 -15th century Feminine statue -Mali, Djenne region (left). 19th century stone statue representing an ancient figure - Indonesia, Sumba (right).
Doors - Sub Saharien Sahel granary door - Baoule population, Ivory coast (right).

Punishment dolls - Morocco, Middle Atlas.
9 - 16th century Anthropomorphic figure - Tchad, Ndjamena region
19th century Royal anthropomorphic figures - Benin, Abomey
The section related to traditional costumes caught my attention and I spent quite a while admiring not only the colours but also the tissue textures I could get a "grip" of even through the glass exhibition windows.
