For illustrating this section, we can produce on request at least one large size HD poster (up to 180x100 cm in size). These posters should be adapted to each country, on a case-by-case basis, in order to prominently feature locally produced coconut products, and to promote the marketing of these local products.
This section presents the different kinds of jewellery that have not yet been described before. First the bracelets, from the simplest to the most complex which involve coconut shell powder and pieces of cinnamon included in resin.
Second, hair jewels, often very elaborate, watches and even a bow tie!
Then are presented much older jewellery: a Sri Lankan medal encrusted with gold and diamonds, painted pieces of coconut shells set in precious metal and coming from a Portuguese church.
Finally, the last image, from India, evokes that not so long ago, some of his objects came from child labour… without knowing whether this work was occasional or not.
