Description:

On several trips to South Africa, Nancy Baird purchased basketry, wood carvings, jewelry and art from women selling their arts and craft on the streets and in their native-run shops. Her collection serves as a reminder of Nancy’s experiences on safari with husband Tom and of the research trips taken to study British women in the country in the early 19th century. These cases show a sampling of her collection acquired while in South Africa.
