Another book that is still relatively available is Paramios Philippine Ivories at the Oriental Museum in Valladolid. Cite: Paramio, J.M.C. 1997. Museo Oriental de Valladolid: Marfiles Hispano-Filipino [Hispano-Filipino Ivories at the Oriental Museum in Valladolid]. Catalogo II. Valladolid: Caja Espana.. Paramio is a student of famed Spanish ivory expert, Margarita Marcos Estella. This book may have been Paramios Ph.D. dissertation. Regardless, the outstanding collection of Philippine ivories at the Oriental Museum at Valladolid is but a small portion of the total number of ivory images imported to Spain from the Philippines at the height of the Manila Galleon trade. The Oriental Museum in Valladolid is the showcase display of the Augustinian priests of Philippines and the Orient. In fact, the province is named after the most holy name of Jesus and an image of the Santo Nino of Cebu graces the central pediment of the chapter house in Valladolid. Father Blas Sierra de la Calle of the Augustinian chapter in Manila is the curator of Museo Oriental de Valladolid of the Royal College of the Augustinian Fathers in that city. The museum is said to hold the most extensive collection of Asian art and artifacts in Spain.
