Wall Malgarr Shield with Waang the Crow Design.
Traditionally malgarr ( shields ) were used with liyangayil
( fighting clubs) for hand to hand combat with our enemies.
I have replicated the shape of these shields in my artwork.
Waang (Crow) is a moiety or totem of the Taungurung People.
Taungurung people have two moieties, the other being Bundjil (Wedge-tailed eagle).
Members of the tribe identified with one of these moieties and their moiety determined the pattern for marriage between individuals, clans and other tribes.
Hand crafted in Australia from Australian Red Cedar timber.
All artefacts come with an information card.
The card has information about the artist, artefact and design.
All designs are based on traditional symbols from
South East Australia.

Measurements: 375-450mm L x 155mm W x 20mm Deep
Please note: Due to these items being handmade, these

Shields come with a hanger attached to the back ( see photo )
to make for easy hanging on your wall.
