PARRYING SHIELD MEDIUM WIDE - BILI BLUETONGUE LIZARD DESIGN
Pairs well with
Parrying Shield Medium Wide featuring Bili the Bluetongue Lizard—a hand-crafted Australian Red Cedar artwork inspired by traditional malgarr shields used in combat alongside liyangayil (fighting clubs).
Bili the Bluetongue lizard eats all sorts of small creatures. Bili lives in a wide variety of environments, from coastal heathland, lowlands and mountain forests to interior plains. You can identify Bili by his thick skin and distinctive blue tongue – for which he is named.
