WALL SHIELD MEDIUM - BAREBIN BUK THE LONG NECK TURTLE DESIGN

Historically, malgarr shields were paired with liyangayil clubs for close combat. I've mirrored their shapes in my art. The Long-Necked Turtle, Barebin Buk, is indigenous to Southeast Australia, dwelling in slow-moving rivers and wetlands. It signifies the health of these ecosystems and is revered by many tribes. Each piece is handcrafted in Australia using Australian Red Cedar.
