A little memento from our time at the Pitt Rivers Museum - how tasting and smelling are shaped by the mobility stemming from colonial ports.
Look at the brass fattening bowl; made in Birmingham, it travelled by sea and was decorated in Nigeria, to be eventually brought back to the UK by Scottish missionaries.
But also the small clay pipe, a mass-produced object found in the thames: the consumption of tobacco was linked to economic exploitation and global influence.
Do you have similar objects that underpin stories of mobility and colonial entanglements?
