520 3 |a Objects of Instruction: Treasures of SOAS in the new Foyle Special Collections Gallery of the Brunei Gallery, SOAS is an important project aimed at publicising the School's remarkably rich but little known collections. For the first time presented in the Foyle Special Collections Gallery is a broad range of interesting and beautiful objects from across Asia and Africa that are at present known only to a few specialists. Among this wealth of material are illustrated Islamic manuscripts, including a luxurious Mughal copy of the Anvar-i Suhayli, a 16th century book of animal fables; Chinese and Japanese paintings and prints; varied ceramic objects from the Middle East and East Asia; decorative Buddhist manuscripts and sculptures from South-East Asia; contemporary African paintings and textiles; and important archaeological collections from East Asia, South Asia and the Middle East. Many of these objects are true treasures whose display is long overdue. The content will be periodically rotated, which will ensure the vitality and continued appeal of the permanent display.
