They serve to illustrate this great epoch of early contact and trade relations and show how European, particularly Portuguese, culture and art influenced the world from the 15th century onwards. The works of art include a brass plaque from the Kingdom of Benin; a tortoiseshell casket and two black mastic and mother-of-pearl overlaid objects from Gujarat; a group of rare export porcelains and a six-fold lacquer screen from China; and three namban objects from Japan.
