Hand-Carved Didgeridoo with River System Carving by Anthony Saltmere 115cm

Description

Authentic Didgeridoo with River System Design

This 115 cm hand-carved didgeridoo by Aboriginal artist Anthony Saltmere is inspired by the stunning landscapes of Boodjamulla (Lawn Hill) National Park. The intricate river system design symbolises the three rivers of this remarkable region: Lawn Hill Creek, Gregory River, and O’Shanassy River.

Located in northwestern Queensland’s Gulf Country, Boodjamulla is home to the Riversleigh World Heritage Area and lies on the traditional land of the Waanyi people. Anthony’s artwork reflects a deep respect for this land and its waterways, embodying the cultural and natural significance of the region.

With its rich resonance and cultural artistry, this didgeridoo is both a functional musical instrument and a striking representation of connection to country.

Each carving by Anthony Saltmere comes with a certificate of authenticity, ensuring its genuine origin.

About the Artist:

Anthony Saltmere, an Aboriginal artist from Mornington Island in the Gulf of Carpentaria, is celebrated for his distinctive hand-carved timber artworks.

Some of his pieces are left unpainted, while others are painted by his partner, Chantel Harley.

Living on Mornington Island and travelling around the Gulf and Northwest regions, Anthony and Chantel stay connected with their roots and respect the environment. They choose materials carefully using traditional methods passed down through their families.

Their artwork tells stories about their lives and culture. They use old techniques but also add modern touches to show who they are and share their heritage.

Anthony Saltmere and Chantel Harley want to show that ancient artifacts can still be meaningful today. They hope their art highlights the importance of these artifacts in our modern world.
