Shelf holding tiny gifts from around the world

Pretty things on a tiny shelf in my bedroom.  There are four Chinese masks  on this shelf which were presented to me by a Chinese trader visiting the company I worked for more than 20 years ago.  They are very detailed and well made.  Also on the shelf is a wooden piece with a camel, herdsman and grass, this was given to me while we were in the Middle East.  Each piece is removeable.  Russian Doll on the lower shelf was a memento from friends after their visit to Russia. The tiny little elk on the same shelf is a  Christmas tree ornament from our visit to Alaska.  The dark wood bird-thing on the top shelf is from Indonesia from an Indonesian woman we used to know.  The Black penguin is a Christmas hanging ornament and was made by a colleague of mine.  Other bits picked up from Church bazaars.
