Kungkaku Puturru Fabric - Light Purple and Orange on Wine (Tencel Linen) 50cm Clothes Garment Details:This design by Alison Napurrula Multa depicts the kungkaku puturru the hairstring women make from their own hair for ceremony. In the older days, women cut their own hair and spun it on their thighs to create string for dancing, ceremony and domestic purposes. Kungkaku puturru is connected to Kungkayunti (Brown's Bore) the place where the ancestral women who travelled from Ntaria (Hermannsburg) stopped and danced. Kungkayunti means women dancing.
