Twined Pandanus Mat
Shirley Malgarrij - NT
Pandanus, plant dyes
"The crafting of floor mats is a relatively new innovation based on the modification of two traditional woven forms - the first, a triangular shape worn ceremonially by women; the second, a smaller conical shape
used as a shade cover for
resting babies. The mat is twined form pandanus fibres which have been collected from the artist's clan estate."
