HISTORICAL EXAMPLES

Painted Designs on Rainforest Aboriginal Shields from North Queensland: An Analysis of Correlations between Design Styles and Geographical Distribution, by Ranna-Lesley Lachlan [formerly Hale], James Cook University, Townsville. 1989.

 

The painted designs on the following two shields are typical of the designs found on shields in major collections in Australia (Lachlan, R., 2003). The designs on these two shields provide two additional examples of the design symmetries discussed on the previous page. The deep reddish color and the yellow are both ochres, the white is clay, and the black is ground charcoal (Lachlan, R., 1989).
