A MIX of Oriental cultures came together in a fusion of Eastern crafts, art, music and costume.

Durham's Oriental Museum staged its annual celebration of all things Asian, attracting overseas students and members of Middle and Far Eastern communities.

The Oriental Bazaar featured everything from Chinese lion dancing, Arabic and traditional belly-dancing, Indonesian and Chinese music, Japanese flower arranging, storytelling, calligraphy and martial arts demonstrations.

Visitors were able to have Indian henna hand paintings, see a Japanese tea ceremony, play mah-jong, learn about reflexology and try on a traditional Indian costume
