A possibly bronze age set of beads. Together with neolithic stone tools. Maurice Jenkins (1933-2022). North Cornwall collector. Maurice was a lifetime collector and started in the 1950s. He opened a shop in Liskeard in the 1970s called Canon Hill Antiques. He visited a number of Middle Eastern countries in his lifetime including Egypt in the late 1970's when his interest in Islamic and Asian antiques began. He was a man with an eye for quality and a love of antiques, history and travel who purchased privately and at auction over the decades. Over a lifetime of purchasing privately and at auction, he created an eclectic ensemble of collections reflecting his interests. He died a few weeks before his 90th birthday and was still buying until that time. These items have come from the collection of the late Maurice Jenkins of Bude. The labels on the beads are his and state 'Early Bronze Age Necklace purchased 1991 at sale in Fremington'. Two of the implements have marker pen inscriptions, the larger states '1989, found in Bude at roadside North of the golf club', the smaller ' Borrowdale, Lake District'
