Coolamon - Deidre Burgoyne Rosier
This stunning Coolamon (sometimes referred to as a Yandi Dish), hand-painted by renowned Aboriginal Artist Deidre Burgoyne Rosier, a proud Kokotha/Mirning/Wirangu woman.
It is not only a unique work of art but a piece of cultural significance. Crafted from milkwood collected in Central Australia, this traditional artefact is a representation of Aboriginal craftsmanship and storytelling.
A Coolamon is traditionally used by Aboriginal people to carry food, water, and other essentials during long journeys, often crafted from wood, reiterating the connection to the land. This particular Coolamon is 57 cm in length, 19.5 cm in width, and 5.5 cm in height.
Deidre's intricate design features a beautiful combination of black, yellow ochre, and red ochre waves, divided by delicate white and beige dot work, showcasing the artist's deep relationship to her heritage. The painted dot work tells a visual narrative surrounding gathering seeds that resonates with Deidre's own life experience and the connection to the land.
Each Coolamon carries its own story, and any imperfections in the wood or paint only add to its authenticity, enhancing the charm and uniqueness of the piece. This beautiful, handcrafted artefact is not only a wonderful display object but also a functional collector's item that embodies the rich cultural traditions of the Australian Aboriginal people.
