A small Australian Aboriginal Wandjina painting on bark. The Wandjina are powerful presences capable of punishing those who break tribal law. They are depicted on cave paintings dating back thousands of years and are associated with human origin and regenerating life forces. They are sometimes identified with Beings beyond our planet.
This is an early work by the Kalumbaru people, and probably originally sold through the Mowanjum outlet in Derby.
