Australian Bark Shield
A History of the World in 100 Objects
The Bark Shield: A History of the World
The bark shield stands at the head of centuries of deprivation, genocide and misunderstanding. The big questions in Australia today continues to be how or whether any meaningful reparation can be made. Programs of research carried out together with the Indigenous communities are exploring surviving artifacts. In 18th century China an ancient object was collected not by a visiting explorer but by the Emperor to connect his dynasty to an illustrious past. It's a jade ring called a bee. And if you have an object with a history to tell, why not add it to our growing collection? Find all this at bbc.co.uk slash A History of the World.
