This rug was designed by Leah Brady of Tjala Arts in the Anangu/Pitjantjatjara/Yankunytjatjara lands in central Australia and chain-stitched by skilled Kashmiri artisans with the highest quality Kashmiri wool.
This is a story about how the Willy Wagtail People got fire. A flaming fire stick came from Mt Lindsay and landed in the Mann Ranges at Angatja (Leah’s homeland). The Willy Wagtail people picked up the fire stick. They grabbed at it gleefully and took it to their homes as they did not have fire. It is said the fire came from the sea where the Fire Men lived. It was they that threw it to Mt Lindsay. This mob (Willy Wagtail People) had tried to catch the fire stick before and they got it before the rain came.
These texturally exquisite rugs are created through Better World Arts Cross Cultural Projects and chain-stitched by skilled Kashmiri artisans with the highest quality Kashmiri wool. The Cross Cultural Projects give substantial benefits to all the participants in the production process. The results truly have to be seen and touched to be believed.
