Another popular souvenir to take home was a painted turtle shell, the painting was usually of a Gan sunset and coconut trees. I did take home some cowrie shells and others including a giant Triton the I found while snorkelling.
All are (thankfully) totally unacceptable now.
The Pakistani DoE airfield electrician used to sell onyx figures, ashtrays etc outside the airmen's mess IIRC.
