The iconic Kimberley boab nut is the inspiration of this object. An important source of bush tucker, a medicine, a vessel, an engraved object, and a gift of exchange through the cultural practice of Wirnan. “I have created a design on this boab nut inspired by my Country. All the run off creeks and stones during the wet season.”

‘Gerdewoon’ – Miriwoong for the iconic Kimberley boab is the inspiration for these unique ceramic objects. For thousands of years an important source of bush tucker, a medicine, a vessel, an engraved object and gift of cultural exchange, these objects translate the east Kimberley artistic tradition of boab engraving into contemporary form.

Designed by select Waringarri artists, these exquisite objects are created using Australian porcelain, slip cast in hand carved moulds using a multi-coloured process. Waringarri Arts studio technicians meticulously refine the porcelain castings by hand allowing each object to inherit an individually crafted quality.
