Story:

Provenance Waringarri Artists, N.T Coo-ee Aboriginal Art Gallery, NSW

Exhibited: Songlines Coo-ee Christmas 2012, Coo-ee Aboriginal Art Gallery, NSW Sydney December 2012 Story The painting in caves of the Kimberly region often feature Kwion (Bradshaw figures) who's creation is credited to the ancestors or another people. There is also a story that credits a small bird with painting them with its blood. The Kwion often underlay's Wandjina Paintings, so it is generally assumed that they are older.

When people speak of the Kwion they often say that these figure are an important part of law in the region, telling people how to live, to share food properly and look after each other. They are often depicted along side the Wandjina representing the strong influence of cave painting on Kalumburu artists.
