Jilamara (body painting). We use these designs on our body for Kulama and Pukamani ceremonies. The dots means people,we call them Pwanga & the lines we call Malapinyina. This tradition of mark making is the foundation for modern Tiwi art. Tiwi painting in its origins, is the transcription of marks traced in ochre on the bodies of dancers in ceremonies.
