PARRYING SHIELD MEDIUM WIDE - MARRAM KANGAROO DESIGN

Parrying Malgarr Medium Wide with Marram Kangaroo Design.   

Traditionally malgarr ( shields ) were used with liyangayil
( fighting clubs) for hand to hand combat with our enemies. 
I have replicated the shape ofthese shields in my artwork.

Why Marram the Kangaroo has a tail and Warriin the Wombat doesn’t,
is one of our Taungwurrung creation stories. Marram & Warriin were
good mates, but one day they had a fight because Warriin would
not let Marram in his burrow– so Marram cut off Warriins tail with his
axe. Warriin got so mad he threw a spear at Marram, it became stuck in
his back end and is now his tail.

Hand crafted in Australia from Australian Red Cedar timber.
