The Yarning Circle Mat 2.7 x 2.7m

Designed by innovative Australian Aboriginal artist De Greer Yindimmincarlie, of the Wiradjuri Nation in central New South Wales, this recycled plastic, reversible floor mat includes a range of different Aboriginal symbols. Can you see men and women? Children? Emu or kangaroo tracks? How about digging tools, boomerangs and coolamons? Introduce children to the world of storytelling through symbolism, which is a central part of Aboriginal art. 

De Greer Yindimincarlie describes her design: "I draw my men sitting towards the fire as they sit with their legs outstretched towards the campfire, and I draw my women facing away from the fire, as they sit with their legs tucked under their bottoms, hence the facing way… I draw them like that because that's the way I was taught the symbols, and the way I have always drawn and taught the symbols to others."

Measures 2.7 x 2.7m. Not suitable for children under 3 years.
