These are the 'fairdinkum thing'. This set of 5 placemats was made over 20 years ago by a traditional Aboriginal person living in the outback. The design is very full of meaning. Enlarge & study the paintings carefully & you realise it tells a story with great spiritual significance to the artist. The detail in the paintings is impressive. Have a look at the 'x-ray fish' with the platypus - it is truly one of the best I have ever seen & for its size almost unbelievable! Each painting infact contain several object. Even more realistic is the material these are made with - slats of wood with a red felt backing. Practical - but for the collector - a real sign of authenticity.

The artist is from our great-grandmothers' traditional area, just south of Taree on the mid-north coast of N.S.W. It is nicely finished with foam on the underside & is signed by the artist.

Wooden, woven & (in some cases) pottery objects have always been traditionally painted. Today they can be a great way to enjoy Aboriginal Art without hanging it on a wall. Plates & bowls can be enjoyed by apartment dwellers with little space & are also great in an office.
