Yirawala (c.1897-1976), artist and Aboriginal elder, was a member of the Naborn clan of Gunwinggu language speakers whose traditional lands lie in the Marugulidban (also called Morgaleetbah) region straddling the Liverpool River, south-west of Maningrida, Northern Territory. He was born in his home country. The date of his birth is not known but in 1970 he gave his age as 73. His father was Nowaritj, a religious leader and keeper of his people's sacred symbols and cave galleries of rock paintings; Yirawala's mother's name is not recorded. He was raised in the customary manner, learning his father's designs, songs and stories. The dramatic rock art of western Arnhem Land influenced his artistic development. First Edition, pp. 160 Colour and b/w plates #091015 ( Please note: Over standard weight.
