Wall Malgarr Shield with Womindjeka Gum Leaves 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.
Many Gum Leaves “Djerrang-U Wurrdhadindu”
Green gum leaves are burnt in a “darnuk” or wooden bowl.
This creates smoke, which we invite visitors to walk through to be cleansed and welcomed to our country. Womindjeka - Welcome
