DESIGN EXAMPLE

The painted designs on the following shield is typical of the designs found on some shields in major collections in Australia (Lachlan, R., 2003). The design on this shield provides an additional example of the design symmetries discussed on the previous page. The deep reddish color and the yellow are both ochres, the white is clay, and the black is ground charcoal (Lachlan, R., 1989).
