The Tiwi Aboriginal residents of Melville and Bathhurst Islands are Australian citizens, but come from a different tribal linage than the Aborigines of the Australian mainland. They have different Dreamings and different designs that portray them.
The symbols are called ‘rarrk” and they are unique to the artists allowed by tradition to paint them. Authenticity guaranteed, as is your satisfaction with this indigenous product.
