- Description Dancing Wombat – China Mug (Fine Bone China) comes packaged in a matching recycled Gift Box. The mug comes packaged with information about the artist and artwork. This is a beautiful and unique Aboriginal gift. Capacity: 350ml Womindjeka is what we say to friends and strangers when we welcome them onto our country. We offer them a gum leaf as their passport and they must observe Bunjils law. Bunjil the wedge tailed eagle is the creator spirit for the Kulin people. The five gumleaves on the Dancing Wombat – Mug (Fine Bone China) represent the five language groups that make up the Kulin Nation: Boonwurrung, Woiwurrung, Taungwurrung, Wadawurrung, and Djadjawurrung. The shields represent our individuality and the protection of our families. All the symbols are unique to south-eastern Australia and they demonstrate connection to our Country. About the Maker Mick Harding belongs to the Yowung-Illam-Baluk clan of the Taungurung people – a tribe of the Kulin nation. Mick was born in Melbourne and draws inspiration from the compelling legends of his people. He weaves the images of those legends into each of his original artworks, which reflect the unique symbols and artifacts of south-east Australia. Each of the artworks Mick creates, is linked to a legend and challenges the viewer to understand their place in the story.
