Artwork Story
This design represents dharpa (tree) that grows in the monsoon vine forests and open forests of NE Arnhem Land. The name for this tree is Gålurra (mallotus nesophilus). The fruits are eaten when ripe (pale yellow and soft) Munbi (malaisia scandens)is a climber that also occurs in these forests. The shiny red fruits are collected and may be either eaten raw or cooked. The vine sometimes grows over the Gålurra tree. © Buku Larrnggay Mulka 2009
