KATE CONSTANTINE
Dyin Bangada: Ngunyul (Women’s feather adornment) is by Kate Constantine. Kate says “Gadigal women have some of the most beautiful jewellery and adornments recorded. This design is based on a beautiful drawing by an unknown artist entitled 35: A woman of New South Wales. The woman’s name is omitted, but she is likely Gadigal or Bidjigal, judging by her facial structure and her feather adornments. This tradition of ornamentation was both a small vanity and a way of showing where someone was from, and who they were connected to. These Dyin Bangada have been forgotten but are not lost.”
