Description

Nganytja (Bush Grapes)

"It's small, tiny around. The colours are green, not ready to eat, only it's red, maroon, and orange you can eat then. it's in a top of the tree. In the tree sometime high up in the tree and sometime it's hard to reach and collect it. I did this painting, it reminds me I wanted to paint it so people can see what it looks like and what is it. It's bush food, long time ago people used to walk and when they're walking they used to get it, now it's still there. We go hunting and collect it. And that same tree is used for making spears and digging stick and in that tree, on the ground there's the honey ants there and they have eggs there, that's the same tree. It's sometime, that same tree, its got on the limbs there is a bumpy red thing, sometimes that melts, only on a hot day. It's like honey melting, put it in the mouth and it's nice and sweet, called karrku. On this tree, it's got a bush apple, really round. That's the stick, you can use this for making fire, this tree is useful. It's got everything." - Joyce Dixon

FAQ

Yes, we have sent Ikuntji artwork to almost every corner of the world and regularly make the 3 hour trip from our home in Haast Bluff to our closest post office. Depending on the size of the package and destination, we will ship via Australia Post or Startrack. We take care in safety wrapping every piece of artwork for shipping. All packages are sent with signature required on arrival and tracking details sent to you via email at dispatch.

Due to Australian wide shipping delays and the possibility of bad weather on local roads at all times of the year. Delivery times may take longer what is estimated on Australia Post or Startrack websites. Every effort is made to dispatch artworks as quickly as possible, but specific delivery times cannot be guaranteed. Please keep in mind that you are purchasing something from a remote community.
