PARRYING SHIELD SMALL AUSTRALIAN RED CEDAR- GAAN THE SNAKE DESIGN

Parrying Malgarr with Gaan the Snake 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. Gaan the Snake is a very clever hunter and only ever takes what he needs. Warmer weather sees snakes out and about looking for food and shelter & its mating time. Snakes can move more quickly in the warmer months, and in our country mostly hiberate in the cooler months - but can be seen out if there is a warm day. Hand crafted in Australia from Australian Red Cedar timber. All artifacts come with an information card. The card has information about the artist, artifact and design. All designs are based on traditional symbols from South East Australia. Size: Small Wide PMS Measurements: 550mm L x 120mm 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.
