This wood churinga is from Australia's Central Desert area. It has a highly unusual and striking round shape. The piece has an ancient dry patina and one small but stable age crack coming up from the bottom. Churingas such as this represented the ancestral journey Australian aboriginals took when settling their traditional lands. This example is 9 ¾" in height. sold
