• Notes:
  "Owl" by Megan Djuramalwuy Yunupingu is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Elcho Island Arts, Elcho Island, Northern Territory which states: ‘The owl totem belongs to the Yirritja Moiety. It also belongs to other clans such as Wangurri, Dhalwangu and the Golpa clan sing about owls. The owl's eyes depict the traditional bush food called Dingu which comes from the Cycad plant. The nuts are pounded, strained and made into a dough then wrapped by paper bark and baked in a ground oven. Owls are smart and wise, they bring telepathic messages, telling us that something is going to happen, something good or bad in relation to our family. They also tell us if a death has occurred amongst our family.’ "Basket with Double Handle" by Phyllis Batumbil and "Rock Cod" by Julie Djinathi Yunupingu are accompanied by certificates of authenticity from Elcho Island Arts, Elcho Island, Northern Territory. "Basket" by Judy Manany is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Gapuwiyak Culture and Arts, Yirrkala, Northern Territory.
