INFORMATION ABOUT THE RAINFOREST ABORIGINAL

Rainforest
Aboriginal shields were collected from throughout
the North Queensland rainforest during the late
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Many of
the major
museums in Australia
hold a number of these fascinating artefacts in
their collections.

DISCLAIMER
#1 & ATTRIBUTION
The two
illustrations above provide examples of two typical
design symmetries found in the painted designs on
rainforest Aboriginal shields. Generic examples of
such symmetries are illustrated
below
(Lachlan,
R., 1989).
A contemporary
rainforest Aboriginal
shield
created by Mr
R. Butler
(click
here for
illustration)
bears a beautiful example of one of these design
symmetries
(Lachlan,
R., 2003).
In fact, six discrete design symmetries were
identified by Dr Lachlan during her research
(Lachlan,
R., 1986-89)
on
the rainforest shields.

CURATORIAL:
Although she is a full
time contemporary
artist
in the U.S.A. and Australia, Dr Lachlan provides
advice and liaison on Australian anthropology
and material culture, the focus of her first
graduate qualification, and on the arts of India
and East Asia which were the focus of her
PhD.
