Medium Parrying Malgarr with Gaan the Snake Design.   

Traditionally malgarr ( shields ) were used with liyangayil
(fighting clubs) for hand to hand combat with our enemies. 
I have replicated the shape of these shields in my artwork.

Gaan the Snake is a very clever hunter and only ever takes
what he needs. Warmer weather sees snakes out and about
looking for food and shelter & its mating time. Snakes
can move more quickly in the warmer months,
and in Victoria mostly hiberate in the cooler months -
but can be seen out if 
there is a warm day.

Hand crafted in Australia from Australian Red Cedar timber.

All artefacts come with an information card. 
The card has information aboutthe artist, artefact and design. 
All designs are based on traditional symbols from
South East Australia.

Size: Medium PMM

Measurements: 700mm L x 120mm W x 20mm Deep 
Please note: Due to these items being handmade, these
measurements are approximate only.

Shields come with a hanger attached to the back ( see photo )
to make for easy hanging on your wall.
