Artwork Details:

  • Artist: Evelyn Nampijinpa Daniels

  • Catalogue #: 4080/08

  • Medium: Acrylic on Canvas

This painting tells the story of a Jangala watiya-warnu (Acacia tenuissima) ancestor who travelled south from Ngurlupurranyangu to Yamunturrngu (Mount Liebig), gathering seed-bearing watiya-warnu and carrying them in parrajas (food carriers).

The seeds were traditionally collected in spinifex and mulga country, processed at camp, and used for food and medicinal purposes, including treating stomach ailments. The Dreaming also includes ceremonial practices involving ground paintings.

Custodianship of this Jukurrpa belongs to Nampijinpa/Nangala women and Jampijinpa/Jangala men.

In Warlpiri art, traditional symbols represent the story: U-shapes for women collecting seeds, oval forms for food carriers, and straight lines for digging sticks.

Ethically sourced and provided with impeccable provenance including Certificate of Authenticity.

Absolutely stunning scarf. Matched perfect with the outfit I was wearing. It arrived in record time. Thank you

Purple Connections | Modal Scarf

My scarf arrived promptly, and was in excellent condition. The design and fabric was also excellent. However, for my taste, it was a little too feminine in style, and I am a slightly more conservative male. I had previously requested advice from you on a suitable woollen scarf for a man, and this design was recommended. While I am grateful for the advice, this one doesn’t really meet my needs. I will probably gift it to a woman who may appreciate it more than me. Thanks again.

Fire & Rain | Modal Scarf

Store owner replied: Hi Jennine, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback - we really appreciate it. We are so pleased to hear that you love the design and colours of the Fire & Rain Dreaming scarf. We understand that the change in material may have been unexpected, especially when purchasing it as a gift, and we are sorry for any disappointment this may have caused. This beautiful design, which was previously available in pure silk chiffon, is now offered in an eco-conscious, plant-based Modal textile - often referred to as “vegan silk.” It is a lightweight, soft and sustainable alternative that many customers enjoy for its environmentally friendly qualities. We truly appreciate your support and hope your gift is well received.

This scarf is just so beautiful. The wool is the finest I’ve ever seen, so it is warm, light, soft and so very colourful. Congratulations on an excellent product.

Store owner replied: Hi Shaunagh, Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review — we truly appreciate it! We’re delighted to hear that you were happy with both our product and our service. Your support means a great deal to us. Warm regards, The Mainie Australia Team

I love the whole concept of Mainie Australia. I have purchased several scarves for friends and family, and also a necktie for myself. I am proud to be supporting an Indigenous-owned business selling "wearable art" with a backstory attached to every item. The finished products are high quality, the designs well sourced and all visually appealling. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a piece of authentic Australia that they can wear, treasure and take home with them (if travelling from overseas).

Customer Reviews

Mainie is a brand I proudly wear for so many reasons. I love that each scarf has a story and that I know with each piece funds go back to the woman that designed it. I adore the vibrancy of the colours and the high quality, I have had my scarves for many years now and they are so versatile from wearing them to do presentations or going out for lunch. I stand for empowering women and standing proud in your individuality and Mainie embodies this in every way.

Lesley Buckman

Our Mainie scarves have become an essential wardrobe component both at home and when travelling. They serve to elevate any outfit whilst also celebrating Australian First Nations culture with dignity and sophistication. The silk product is beautiful to wear and the merino wool is unbelievable soft and so warm. Lightweight, easy to pack and always commented on.

Tanya, Emily and Elizabeth

I love the Mainie Scarves, for myself and as the perfect gift. They are investment pieces that will be part of your wardrobe for life. I love travel and one or two scarves are always included in my luggage. They are perfect on the plane and for dressing up outfits. I take a Merino scarf for cooler climates and silk ones everywhere else. However, the very best part is the ethical basis of the brand. I know I support a woman artist from a First Nations community when I purchase something from Mainie. They look good and do good at the same time.
