Pikilyi Jukurrpa (Vaughan Springs Dreaming)
$250.00
Pikilyi is a large and important waterhole and natural spring near Mount Doreen station. Pikilyi Jukurrpa (Vaughan Springs Dreaming) tells of the home of two rainbow serpents, ancestral heroes who lived together as man and wife. The woman ‘rainbow serpent’ was of the Napanangka skin group, the man was a Japangardi. This was a taboo relationship contrary to Warlpiri religious law. Women of the Napanangka and Napangardi subsection sat by the two serpents, picking lice off them. For this service, the two serpents allowed the women to take water from the springs at Pikilyi. This was because the serpents were the ‘kirda’, or ceremonial owners, for that country. The spirits of these two rainbow serpents are still at Pikilyi today. This Dreamings belongs to the women and men of the Japanangka/Napanangka and Japangardi/Napangardi skin groups.

Warlukurlangu Artists & Jirtirlparnta Artists Shipping policy
Yuendumu does not have a reliable mail service so parcels are generally driven to Alice Springs, 300 kms from Yuendumu, once a week.
Every effort is made to dispatch artworks as quickly as possible, but specific delivery times cannot be guaranteed. Please keep in mind that you are purchasing something from a very remote community. Parcels purchased while the art fair is in progress in Darwin will also take a little longer to post as most of the staff are in Darwin. So please keep this in mind and expect a longer than normal delay.
Any paintings under 1 metre are shipped via Australia Post, express. Paintings over a metre long need to be sent via Northline, road, and will require a work delivery address if possible.
