Artwork Story
Jimbirla (spearhead) country is Nyadbi’s father’s traditional land. It lies north of Warmun, towards Doon Doon Station. This is sharp, stony country. Gija people used to wrap their feet in paperbark or calico when hunting kangaroos in the hills, to stop the sharp stones from cutting their feet. Jimbirlam (spearheads) were traditionally made of stone, and later made of glass. Jimbirlam are attached to karlumbuny (spear shafts) using spinifex gum and sinew.
