Larrakitj
A larrakitj is traditionally used as a coffin for the bones of a deceased. The hollow log then rots back into the earth and the bones return to rock. Although still a very significant ceremonial symbol for the Yolngu, the Larrakitj is now reffered to as a memorial pole.
The artsts still paints their clan design and remains true to Yolngu law.
The Larrakitj is seen to be a remarkable sculptural piece of art and is collected by both institutions and private collectors worldwide.
