Indo-Portuguese Museum

Here are a few things I loved at Cochin's Indo-Portuguese museum, which is on the grounds of the Bishop's House. Its exhibits are mainly drawn from things in churches in the area.


Old-fashioned door lock. I believe that the left part is supposed to be styled after Shiva's trident.


Jar with the all-seeing eye, which also appears on dollar bills. I guess it's called the Eye of Providence. I wish I saw more of it.


A ceiling-sweeper made of straw (I think) and bamboo. Not an exhibit, but interesting.


A 19th-century hymn book.


Angels, I think made for an altar.


A chapel, I believe. Part of the Bishop's house.
