Yawkyawk by Sonia Namarnyilk – Sold per meter
Our iconic design by Sonia Namarnyilk, a four screen design that is so beautiful that it is often used for wall panels.
Yawkyawk is a word from the Aboriginal Kunwinjku language, meaning ‘young woman’ and ‘young woman spirit being’.
Sometimes compared to the European notion of mermaids, yawkyawks are usually depicted with the tails of fish. They have long hair, associated with trailing blooms of algae, typically found in Arnhem Land streams and rock pools.
