Dhakandjali

Baluka Maymuru (1947 –)

Baluka Maymuru: Aboriginal artist from Yirrkala renowned for bark paintings depicting Yolngu saltwater homelands, clan law & cultural heritage. Explore his significant contributions to Indigenous Australian art.

These Dhakandajli are memorial poles for Manggalili clan people. The poles each have two jaws, one of which is shorter than the other. There are deep meanings behind the symbolism that distinguishes these logs as Manggalili vessels. It is generally conceived that the larrakitj used by Yolngu are an ancestral skin or body for bones that are essentially components of the creation. Once the flesh has dissolved, the unhelpful emanations have dispersed and the elemental spirit of the deceased has merged with its clan
