Est: $25,000 - $30,000
MAGGIE WATSON NAPANGARDI (CIRCA 1925 - 2004) Mina Mina, 1997 synthetic polymer paint on canvas 151 x 78 cm Provenance: Kimberley Art Private Collection, Vic Sold with original gallery documentation and a folio of photographs of the artist creating the work After the spontaneous emergence of digging sticks during the ceremonies at Mina Mina the Karntakulangu women ancestors danced their way in joyous exultation toward the east with the sticks in their outstretched hands. Hundreds of women danced visiting many sites, resting at some, going underground at others and later re-emerging or morphing in to different, sometimes malevolent beings. At Jurntu, Goanna, the ancestral seducer, cuts men's hair and spins it to make fine strings. He coats the strings with red ochre and animal fat to impart magic and makes a headband just like the old women wear for the shield ceremony which makes boys in to men. He tricks the women who unwittingly give away their knowledge to the men. Later the men and women pair up as couples before the women leave to travel further toward the east. This site is the home of the Green Parrot, Fire and Python Dreamings.
