Colour print (exhibition print). Appears in book Aboriginal Australians : Spirit of Arnhem Land - p. 26. Caption from laminated card with the item, which reads in full: Jazmin Daymirringu painted for his initiation ceremony at Yathalamarra - "This is our clan's dreaming which my father gave to me, I am giving to my son, Jazmin. When the Djangkawu sisters travelled across the land they carried a sacred dilly bag made of orange parrot feathers and white ibis down. In that bag they kept the sacred objects and their special tools. Today Jazmin wears that bag and sacred armbands: these emblems have a special meaning for us." - Richard Birrin Birrin
