Cushion Cover - Totem Wilai Possum

$45.00
Tax included.

Wilai - Possum   

Aboriginal tribal and clan groups each have a totem.  A totem is a natural object, plant or animal that is inherited by members of a clan or family as their emblem and the group is responsible for the stewardship of their totem.  My totem is the Wedge Tail Eagle.

Possum-skin cloaks were a form of clothing worn by Aboriginal people in the south-east of Australia. The cloaks were made from numerous possum pelts sewn together with Kangaroo sinew, and often decorated with significant incisions on the inside such as clan insignias. They were rubbed with ochre and fat to both decorate and protect them.

Polyester:- Made from waterproof and UV50+ material, they are suitable for indoors & outdoors. Available in 45 x 45 cm with Bright Full Coloured Backs.
