'Penan Bead Necklaces and Bracelets. These beads were given to Robin Hanbury-Tenison when he travelled with the Penan. These laboriously made decorations were given to visitors on arrival and departure. Today these artefacts form an important part of the income of settled Penan, when the opportunity arises to sell them to passing tourists.'
