These vibrant wool rugs can be used as beautiful floor covering or wall hanging. They feature a cotton canvas non-slip backing and hanging sleeve.

They are handcrafted using a technique called Gabba. The ancient technique of chain-stitches a traditional Kashmiri handicraft is important to the local economy. This work is produced in remote villages and provides an important supplementary income between harvests and other rural work.

Story: Malikijarra Jukurrpa
Artist: Murdie Nampijinpa Morris

Two dog ancestors, a Jampijinpa and a Napangardi, travelled from the west to east. They dug holes in the ground and created 'warnirri' (rockholes) and 'ngapa' (waterholes) as they went. The two dogs separated. Eventually Jampijinpa became lonely and howled for Napangardi to the south. She cam running to him, and they married each other at Ngarnka.
