Muranga is the male name for a long yam. The long, cylindrical yam may be eaten raw or roasted. It is traditionally eaten after the after the Kurlama (initiation) ceremony in February, March & April.

Our Jilamara textiles are hand screen printed by a team of 4 printers, in the Nancy Henry Ripijingimpi screenprinting studio at Jilamara. Each meterage is unique and will most likely have one or two bush touches (a little Milikapiti earth, a smudge of ochre etc). We hope these imperfections remind you of where these textiles were made. We use hanky linen, 100% cotton and a cotton polyester blend. Fabric is sold in 2-metre lengths. Design is 120cm wide. Please enquire about colourways or if you have something else in mind.
