Simon Berida - Thamul Thulut (hook spearhead), 2026

$160.00
56 x 4 x 1 cm

This spear head represents cultural knowledge, tradition, and spiritual connection specifically from this region, with each design linked to specific Totem (Ngakumarl) stories and clan identities. Traditionally used for hunting, warfare, and ceremony. The spear head is made from nanthi menek (ironwood), a traditional material used for spearheads across many generations and ethically sourced from the Wadeye area. Knowledge of making spear heads is passed down from family elders, with timber milled at the Men’s Shed, supporting local knowledge-sharing and community practice, and ensuring each spear head is individually crafted and unique.
