Wakirlpirri is a very useful tree that grows on the sides of creek beds and near mulga trees. The seeds of this tree can be eaten raw or cooked on the fire. A deliciously sweet drink called yinjirrpi is made from the seeds when they have been dried. The wood can be used to make weapons such as karli (boomerangs) and dancing boards for ceremonies.

Dimensions: 40cm square.
Materials: Wool (front), canvas (back), wooden buttons.

Designed in Australia. Chainstitched by hand in Kashmir, India.
