Minyipuru Silk Scarf by Jakayu Biljabu

One of Twelve Pukara scarf by Jakayu Biljabu

In this work, Jakayu Biljabu transports the viewer into the desert Country traversed by seven sisters as they are chased by a lustful old man.

The epic Minyipuru Jukurrpa (Seven Sisters Story) follows the travels of seven sisters as they are chased across the desert of Martu Country by an amorous old man named Yurla.

Yurla followed the sisters from Roebourne on the coast of Western Australia. At one point in the story, Yurla snatches one of the women, but her sisters trick him and manage to rescue her. Eventually they escape into the sky, taking the form of the seven stars comprising the Pleiades constellation.

67 X 133CM 12MM 100% SILK SATIN WITH HAND ROLLED EDGES.

The scarf comes in a beautiful gift box and include an artist's card. 

Priced at $180 including free postage.
