PARRYING SHIELD MEDIUM WIDE - GAWARRN THE ECHIDNA DESIGN

Parrying Malgarr with Gawarrn the Echidna 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. Gawarrn the Echidna is a very prickly fella, that is how he protects himself. He is active after the cold time and reminds us that Goornmil the Snake is now active as well. Hand crafted in Australia from Australian Red Cedar timber. All artefacts come with an information card. The card has information about the artist, artefact and design. All designs are based on traditional symbols from South East Australia. Size: Small Wide PMMW Measurements: 700mm L x 155mm W x 20mm Deep Please note: Due to these items being handmade, these measurements are approximate only. Shields come with a hanger attached to the back ( see photo ) to make for easy hanging on your wall.
