Glass Coolamonby Christine StewartThis beautiful glass coolamon has been designed and based on a traditional Indigenous Australian carrying vessel. Christine has used minimal colour in her design creating a natural almost wood like finish. In traditonal Aboriginal culture and even today the coolamon is used as a multi purpose carrying implement or dish. It has curved sides to allow whatever has been collected to be safely carried around. Traditionally, Aboriginal women would use coolamons to carry water, bush tucker or even their babies. |
