Aboriginal Symbols Glossary © 2012 Central Art

To help our users understand the common symbols in Aboriginal art we have created a symbols glossary.


Over the next few months we will be extending this glossary so that you can see the symbols that relate to each artwork on the artwork page itself.


For an example go to Womens Ceremony by Nanyuma Napangardi. After the artwork story you can see the small symbols that show that this painting displays both campsite or waterhole and waterholes connected by running water.


We think that this is a great way to help our users discover the meaning of Aboriginal art in the comfort of their own homes.
