These churinga are of various sizes, down to a foot or less in length. |
A man's churinga is not, to him, like the egg in which was the life of the giant in the fairy tale. |
Meanwhile most churinga, and many of the disputed objects, have archaic markings, which also occur on rock faces. |
The tribal churinga ensured perpetuation of plant and animal life needed for the support of people. |
All these churinga are kept at sacred central stores, caves, or crevices. |
Here we have the churinga ilkinia, or sacred rock-drawing, in red and white, of the honey ant totem in the Warramunga tribe. |
