Sabrina Green Napangati, Pinari, 87cmx28cm (SG2503043)

£720.00

This painting relates to the soakage site of Pinari, north-west of the Kintore Community. A group of ancestral women once gathered at this site after travelling from further west to perform the dances and sing the songs associated with the area. The women also spun hair-string for making nyimparra (hair-string skirts), which are worn by both men and women during ceremonies. The nyimparra are represented in the painting by the comb like shapes. Upon completion of the ceremonies the women continued their travels gathering large quantities of the edible fruit known as pura (also known in Pintupi as pintalypa), or bush tomato, from the small scrub Solanum chippenddalei. This fruit is the size of a small apricot and , after the seeds have been removed, can be stored for long periods by halving the fruit and skewering them onto a stick.
