This design shows 'Kungkaku Puturru' - the hairstring women make from their own hair for ceremony. In the older days, women used to cut their own hair and create this string by spinning the hair on their thighs. The hairstring was used for dancing, ceremony and domestic purposes. Kungkaku puturru is connected to the Tjukurrpa place Kungkayunti (Brown’s Bore). Kungkayunti is the place where the ancestral women, who travelled from Ntaria (Hermannsburg) to the west of Kintore, stopped and danced. Kungkayunti means women dancing.
Step into timeless style with our 1960s-inspired shift dress. Cut in a flattering A-line silhouette that finishes just above the knee, this versatile everyday staple features comfortable mid-length sleeves and two practical scoop side pockets. Effortless, modern, and designed to transition seamlessly from day to night.
Hand-screen printed in Australia. 100% Aboriginal owned and governed, Ikuntji Artists ensures every purchase goes directly back to the artist and the Haasts Bluff community.
Care instructions: Cold machine or hand wash, drip dry in shade, warm iron. Avoid the tumble dryer and dry cleaner
