Small Wide Parrying Malgarr with Buln Buln the Lyrebird 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.
Buln Buln is the Lyrebird. Males have long distinctive beautiful tail feathers that are used during courtship displays to impress prospective mates. Aboriginal men wear male buln buln tail feathers to show their importance. Lyrebirds are the mimics of the bush – they will copy any sound they hear in their environment whether it is natural or man-made.
