Snake and Budha Carving

A listener brought the item to the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Suffolk event at Ipswich Museum on Tuesday, 16 February, 2010.

The carving was made by a Japanese prisoner of war in Burma during World War II. The item was originally given to Frederick Collins after he helped liberate a prison camp.

Frederick received the carving as a thank you (but also had to give up a cigarette in return).

The item has been passed down through the Collins family and now belongs to his great nephew.
