Australian Made Pure Silk Scarf

Bright, beautiful and unmistakably Australian—this pure silk scarf showcases Betty Mpetyane’s vivid interpretation of Awelye ceremonial designs from her homelands of Utopia. Awelye is traditionally painted in natural ochres as part of women’s ceremony; Betty Mpetyane, daughter of renowned artist Minnie Pwerle, is celebrated for translating these ceremonial designs into striking, joyful colour.
