Daisy Leura Nakamarra Two Napanangka Women 2007
Acrylic on linen 610 x 915mm SOLD
Daisy said this is her mother’s story about two Napanangka sisters travelling across from Pikilyi from the east to
Papunya. They perform inma or ceremony as they travel and eventually head northwest. A traditional ceremony
involved dancing and painting their breasts, chest and forearms in ceremonial body designs. They would also
decorate their bodies with feathers and dance with ceremonial objects such as nulla nullas (a fighting stick also
used for ceremonial dancing).
