Featuring Ngintaka artwork by Aboriginal artist Willie, this beautifully handcrafted cushion cover depicts the artist's Country in remote north-western South Australia on the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands. The artwork tells a Tjukurpa (creation story) of the ngintaka (perentie), a large monitor lizard that lives in underground burrows and is an important totemic animal for Anangu people.
The vibrant colours and bold design reflect the rich hues of the desert landscape, bringing a striking piece of Indigenous Australian art into the home.
