Wood Carvings
Wood carvings from the Groote Archipelago are made from a variety of trees harvested from their different habitats across the region. Milkwood, alabura (stringybark) and mardidarra (ironwood) are the most common types used.
Typically, wood carvings are made by men. These can be ceremonial objects such as yimangala (woomera), alyingba (clapsticks) as well as totemic animals such as akwalya (fish), wurrajija (birds), yinungungwangba-murriya (land animals) and sea creatures.
