Our catalogue > Philippines

This page shows the items we have available for sale from the Philippines, a country that is unique in Southeast Asia for its Catholic, Muslim and traditionally Animist belief groups, spread across many ethnic groups. Additionally, these are influential ethnic Chinese and Mestizo minorities. And then there is the overlay of influence from the Spanish colonial past.

The items have been sourced from within the UK and also the US, often from old colonial-era collections.

Each item is available for sale.
