Men & Cultural Tools by Christopher McMillan
This artwork shows two men sitting down with a spear and shield. They are sitting next to a rock hole. The spear is carved from mulga wood and used for hunting kangaroo and digging for water. The spear is made from the wood from the Inerte tree and you get the red seeds for making necklaces. You use the shields to fill up water and block yourself in a fight.
Appropriate for every body to wear (men, women, gender diverse, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal); the artist would love to see you wearing the design!
