Rainbow Serpent, original canvas paper painting by local Bininj artist John Rocky Cahill.
Dimensions: 20.5cm x 28.6cm
The Rainbow Serpent, Ngalyod, is considered the most powerful Creation being. His mother was Yingarna, who turned into Waramurungundj, the Earth Mother. Ngalyod created waterways, billabongs and rivers. Some say in the Wet, you could see her in the sky, as the showers of renewing water fell to the earth.
