Extensively written up, a significant amount of study has already been invested in the collection, but there is still much more that may be done by research/study extending/taking the collection further forward. Bangladesh appears to have come of age. Whereas some time ago there appeared to be abundance of availability, these days there is little genuine material on the market. Although we have given this a broad 'rounded' description please request images to do justice to the collection, although with so much present images will almost certainly be representative. Certainly the most valuable most extensive collection Bangladesh we have ever witnessed, historically this feels like the start of a journey.
