Stringray bark painting collected circa 1960 Western Arnhem Land.
Framed behind glass
The saltwater stingray is rarely depicted in works from Western Arnhem Land. A similar example to this bark was collected by Charles Mountford in 1948. Oenpelli where this work is from is inland and hunting trips seldom went as far as the coast which may explain why the stingrays a coastal animal is not often represented in the art from this region. Framed behind glass.
