Wall Malgarr - Large Deberer the Bogong Moth 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.
Deberer the Bogong Moth were gathered in the high country by our
Liwik or Ancestors, during the Biderap or Dry season. They are a very
rich source of protein. Walert Ngarrak Wiybo or Mountain Pygmy-possums wake up from hibernation in Dalulam Brak or Spring hungry for nutritious Bogong Moths to eat.
Hand crafted in Australia from Australian Red Cedar timber.

The card has information about the artist, artefact and design.
