Tjanpi hand-woven green echidna sculpture
Tjanpi hand-woven green echidna sculpture
A one-of-a-kind echidna with real grass spines, hand-woven by Noreen Heffernan, Tjanpi Desert Weavers.
Grass spines you can touch: The upright dried-grass spines are a material decision only Noreen Heffernan made -- the tactile detail is what people reach for first.
Larger and bolder: At 34cm this is a substantial sculpture that fills a shelf or mantle properly, not a small curio that gets lost on a bookcase.
Cultural ownership: Tjanpi Desert Weavers is an all-women Anangu organisation -- buying this piece participates in a living craft tradition and sustains it.
Seller: Tjanpi Desert Weavers (Alice Springs). First Nations, Small business.
