This Little Bird from Tiwi Design is more than just art; it is a piece of Tiwi cultural practice, handcarved and handpainted with meticulous care. Made on Bathurst Island, a place where art, ceremony, and daily life intertwine, this carving reflects the traditional techniques and materials—like ochre and ironwood—cherished by the Tiwi people.
Each Little Bird is uniquely different, embodying the individual artist’s interpretation and style. Established in 1969, Tiwi Design is an art centre dedicated to promoting and preserving Tiwi art and culture. With each purchase, you support the ongoing celebration and transmission of Tiwi cultural heritage.
