Wendy Ngurra Cap – Wendy Hubert

Based on an original artwork by Wendy Hubert called Ngurra.

Ngurra, country it’s beautiful it’s goonmardii (plenty of food, good country). We can go fishing, we got kangaroos, turkeys, we never cook in the river, we cook up top. I paint to show people how to appreciate country, to not rubbish it, always pick your rubbish up because country will be there forever, for generations to generation.

Details and care instructions: One size fits most, adjustable with slide strap (once fit is right, slip the strap back through the clip to secure it). 100% polyester, quick dry, shower proof. Cold hand wash only.

Due to the nature of the manufacturing and placement of the artwork on the fabric, each hat is individual and different from the next.

Name: Wendy Hubert


Language: Yindjibarndi
