PARRYING SHIELD LARGE WIDE - POSSUM CLOAK DESIGN

Parrying Malgarr with Possum Cloak 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. Walert the Possum is a night feeder, and a day sleeper. We use possum skins to make Gugra or possum skin cloaks, which we wear to keep warm. We decorate the cloaks and wear them in our traditional ceremony. 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: Large Wide PMLW Measurements: 1000mm 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.
