Looking For
Authentic Australian Aboriginal Art?

|
Hi. My name is Dan, the owner/operator of Murruppi
Indigenous Creations. I am of Australian Aboriginal
descent - see the About Us section of this web site -
and my purpose is to introduce and share my art and my
culture with you.
When accessing this site you
deal directly with a person or persons of Australian
Aboriginal descent. There is no non-aboriginal person
providing you with second-hand knowledge or information
about aboriginal culture, and no 'middle man' skimming
off or adding to the costs of purchasing authentic
Australian aboriginal products. All profits from the
sale of products shown on this web site go directly to
aboriginal artists and their families.
The art
and craft displayed on this site are usually produced by
me. On some occasions, however, when the workload
increases dramatically, I do get other aboriginal
artists to help with the artwork, but you can be assured
that it will be all 100% authentic aboriginal art. Every
product sold from this site will be accompanied with a
signed profile of the artist who either painted or
produced it.
Following is a range of products I
make and which are featured on this site. Please feel
free to peruse them all, and don't forget to read some
of the very interesting and informative articles I have
written about my culture. If you have any questions
about my artwork or about aboriginal culture in general,
please do not hesitate to contact me
anytime.

DidgeridoosYou'll find this
traditional instrument in a variety of sizes. All of
our didgeridoos are naturally hollowed out by termites
and each is uniquely crafted and/or painted.
-
BoomerangsThere is a variety of
boomerangs that were used by our people for hunting
and sporting activities. Some were made to return to
the thrower and some were not. You'll find most of
those types displayed here, including traditional
returning, plywood returning, brigalow souvenir,
hunting and hooked boomerangs.
-
ArtworkI paint mainly on canvas but
also on paper, slate, rocks, or kangaroo skin. Here is
a selection of artwork you can purchase in a range of
sizes.
-
BullroarersThis is traditionally a
sacred men's instrument. These artifacts can be
purchased either painted or unpainted.
-
ClapsticksNo tribe was without
clapsticks to add rythmn and beat to traditional
dances. You can use these to accompany the music of
the didgeridoo, or simply have them as an ornamental
souvenir.
