55	ED2021-74	Bowl	Round, wooden bowl colored with different stripes (tan, light brown, dark brown). The opening is 24 cm across. Possibly from Costa Rica as on the bottom it says "₡85.00" on the bottom, indicating it was purchased for 85 cólones.
56	ED2021-75	Bowl	A small, gray bowl made in Japan. There's a meander pattern around the bowl and the opening is 12 cm across. The bowl rests on top of 3 litte legs attached to its bottom.
57	ED2021-76	Paper, Amate	A painting on amate paper. The artist painted images of the flora and animals of their country (likely Mexico) in bright colors such as green, orange, blue, pink, and white.
58	ED2021-78	Comb	A wooden comb from Africa, likely east Africa because it is double sided. The bottom teeth are longer than the top teeth and the image carved out in the middle (which divides the two sides of teeth) is of a face. It's stained a dark, ashy brown color and the teeth of the comb are on the sharper side.
59	ED2021-79	Sherd, Pottery	Three, small pieces of pottery sherd (A-C). All three are a red-brown color.
60	ED2021-80	Chopsticks	15, wooden chopsticks (A-O) and 3 mini-Japanese paper dolls containing toothpick bodies (P-R) attached to folded pieces of white paper. The chopsticks vary in length, width, and shape. In China, chopsticks tend to be long with wide ends to make it easier to share food across the table (as it is very common in Chinese cultures to share food with one another). In Japan, the chopsticks are shorter with narrower, more pointed ends because they do not share food as often as the Chinese and their diet consists of more fish which requires sharper chopsticks to pick apart. In Korea, chopsticks are often made of metal and have a flatter body.
61	ED2021-91	Carving	An African (Nigerian) piece of art made from thorn wood carving. The small figurine depicts a person sitting on a stool and weaving blue fabric.
62	ED2021-95	Cover, Cushion	A square-shaped cushion cover from Andhra Pradesh, India. The design on the front of the cover contains various squares which wrap around the entirety of the fabric. Each square has its own pattern but the main colors include blue, red, green, and black. The tag attached to the cover reads: "A cooperative of block print artisans in Andhra Pradesh, India, created this beautiful design. In block printing, craftspeople carve a design into a simple wood block, ink or pour hot wax on the block, then stamp the impression on fabric or paper. Craftspeople are often at a disadvantage in India because they lack financial knowledge and promotional skills. Asha Handicrafts, a non-profit organization, partners together with these block print artisans by fairly marketing their creations."
