Malgarr Wall Shield (Small) - Australian Red Cedar - Gaan The Snake - Mick Harding
Wall Malgarr (shield) with the Gaan (snake) design.
Traditionally, Malgarr were used with Liyangayil (fighting clubs) for hand-to-hand combat with enemies. Mick Harding has replicated the shape of these shields in his artwork.
Gaan the Snake is a very clever hunter and only ever takes what he needs. Warmer weather sees snakes out and about looking for food and shelter, as well as being mating time. Snakes can move more quickly in the warmer months, and in Victoria they mostly hibernate in the cooler months - but can be seen out on a warm day.
