Do you ship internationally/ how are your packages sent?

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.

All packages are sent with signature required on arrival and tracking details sent to you via email at dispatch.

How long will my order take to arrive in the mail?

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. Our minimum wait time for delivery is one week after your item is purchased but this can be longer. You will receive an email once your item has dispatched from the local post office.

Do I get any documentation with the artwork that I purchase? And what kind of documentation?

Yes, you get a Certificate of Authenticity showing an image of the artwork, artwork code and the story depicted if supplied. This is sent automatically with every artwork as a digital copy to your chosen email.

I have lost my documentation. Can I get a replacement?

Description

Clapping Sticks are a traditional percussion instrument played by both men and women in Indigenous communities across Australia. Their main purpose is to maintain rhythm in voice chants and are often heard as part of an Aboriginal ceremony. They are also played during social dancing and can accompany other instruments (such as the didgeridoo or yidaki).

Like many of the objects designed by First Nations people, these artifacts can serve more than one purpose - in this instance, for digging the earth or used as trade items.
