Pandanus Dillybag - Virginia Wilfred
Handmade Pandanus Dillybag by Virginia Wilfred from Numbulwar, Roper Gulf in the Top End. Virginia is a Ritharrngu Aboriginal Artist.
Pandanus is a beautiful palm-like tree that grows in northern Australia, particularly in more the tropical areas. It is an important part of Aboriginal culture as it has a variety of uses (e.g. cooking, medicine, crafting, shelter), as well as being part of Dreaming stories.
This gorgeous dillybag is made from dried pandanus and natural dyes. The dominant colours used in this piece are brown, yellow and pink. Dillybags are traditionally used to carry food or tools, most frequently in Australia's top end.
Measures approx. 11.5 cm high x 10.5 cm width (29 cm including handle when hanging).
