Martumili Ngurra

Hook earrings with stainless steel pendant printed with a detailed section from the collaborative work ‘Martumili Ngurra’, painted by three Kunawarritji artists Nora Wompi, Nora Nungabar and Bugai Whyoulter. Note that each pair of earrings from this collection vary, as they are comprised from different sections of the original artwork. This item is handmade in Australia. Each piece is engraved with details of the artists and their artwork.

‘Martumili Ngurra’ portrays a very large area of country where the artists and their family lived and travelled during the pujiman (bush) days. Martumili Ngurra means the Martu belong to this ngurra (home) country. Portrayed in this artwork are Kurta Kurta, Parnngurr, and Wantili.
