“MAAB” in the Taungurung Language means to Give, Offer or Sell. These 3 items all correspond with its meaning, each having its own significance.

“KULIN MAN MAN” is a Pendant & Necklace crafted carefully with a Ceramic finish. The cross-hatching lines represent Kulin Men & Women whilst the diamond pattern design around this embodies ‘Bunjil the Creator’. Once Sax-Williams completed this piece it was gifted to his partner to carry for protection.

“WIRRIP BUNDI” is a Decorative Bundi Stick/Club designed and offered to his tribe for ceremonial purposes. The staff of the club is wrapped in “WALERT” Possum Skin and displays a burnt pattern design reflecting the mountains where Taungurung people reside.
