Anotations

Scope note:

Yawulyu is an exclusively female ceremony of the aboriginal Warlpiri people. Sand designs are used during story telling to represent concerns of sexuality, fertility, and well-being, as well as the presence of ancestral beings during ceremonies. Although primarily drawn into sand, these designs may be incised into wood or stone as well as painted onto bodies.
