This is an Original AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINAL BARK PAINTING, by Australian Aboriginal Artist Robin Ngainmira, (1951-1991). It is inscribed on the reverse, and has it\'s Original Label from the Gunwinggu Tribe in the Openpelli area. I do not know its exact age but my guess would be from the 1970s - 1980s. It describes two women, Likanaya and Marrayka, of the dreaming time used to wander around western Arnhem land gathering food, which they placed in woven pandanus dilly bags. One day they came upon a waterhole at a place called Malwan when 2 men crept up on them and tried to grab them. The women slipped into the water and their feet changed into fishes\' tails and they swam away from their assailants.

On the Label on the reverse is the story of the painting.

Robin Ngainmira belongs to a family of artists: his father, Jimmy Nakkurridjdjilmi Ngainmira (1917-1982), and father\'s brothers, Bobby Barrdjaray Ngainmira (born 1915) and Peter Ngainmira (1927-1987) are all well-known painters.Robin Ngainmira takes after his father in his facility to render a great variety of animal species using the naturalistic x- ray technique.However, the manner in which Robin Ngainmira combines a multitude of figures within the picture frame to create highly animated scenes is unique.

This painting is in very good condition andmeasures 36\" by 9 3/4\" wide. The reed strings show some wear but still intact. Colors include earth tones and white. It would make an Ideal Addition to any Good Collection of Fine Original Australian ABORIGINAL Art.
