Description

My father was in WWII and he collected many items. He was stationed in New Guinea as an engineer, he helped build one of the first airports there, General Eisenhower came to see it after it was completed.

While in New Guinea and other surrounding areas he collected many handcrafted wooden items and cloth from silk. Unique to the Philippines, piña is an extraordinary textile made by weaving the fibers of the leaves of the pineapple. A beautiful Chinese lace tablecloth, this is for a very large table, there are other items that my father collected other than items from WWII.
