Beautifully made in fine modal this scarf depicts the Jilamara artwork by Josette Papajua.

About the Artwork:

During ceremony on the Tiwi Islands a series of 'yoi' (dances), are performed; some are totemic and show a narrative of newly composed songs. Participants in these ceremonies are painted with turtiyanginari (the different natural ochre colours), transforming the dancers and, in some cases, provide protection against mapurtiti (spirits). These significant artistic designs collectively are called 'Jilamara'.

This exquisite woven scarf is the result of a fair trade project between Better World Arts, Munupi Arts and artisans in India.
