Churinga, Sacred Board
Australia
19th-early 20th c.

These sacred boards are symbolic representations of the ancestors of dreamtime; they are the link to the other world. This example has a fine handled patina; with wonderfully incised tribal markings called Emu tracks on both sides of the board. In excellent condition.
