Description

Artist: Alice Dixon Nampitjinpa
Handmade chainstitch cushion cover, designed by Aboriginal artists, cotton backing, wool crewel work, zip closure. 410x410mm (16x16”) Sold unfilled.

This traditional Kashmiri handicraft vitally suppliments an often fluctuating rural income. Wool is custom dyed to match the original artist's image and hand stitched onto a cotton base. Each cushion is backed with natural coloured cotton canvas, and closes with a zip. Please note cushion fillers are not included. Royalties are paid to the artists for sales of this product.

Story: 'Water Hole' by Alice Dixon Nampitjinpa. This is the way the water runs off the sand into the much needed water hole where it stays for a long time. The travellers and animals can find water here.

Size:                           400x400mm
