Artwork Description

This "marjardi Jukurrpa" (hairstring skirt/tassel Dreaming) comes from Mina Mina. Mina Mina is an extremely important ceremonial site for Napangardi and Napanangka women that is located approx. 600kms west of Yuendumu, just east of of Lake Mackay and the WA border. The area has "marluri" (salt lake or claypan) that is usually dry, without water. There are also a number of "mulju" (soakages), sandhills, and a large stand of "kurrkara" (desert oaks). The Mina Mina Jukurrpa is an important source of Walpiri ritual knowledge and social organisation, particularly relating to the different roles performed by men and women,
