Hand-Painted Hand-Carved Coolamon

$194.99

This beautifully hand-carved parraja (coolamon) is a stunning example of traditional craft and is hand-painted with a beautiful array of colour.

A coolamon is a traditional carrying vessel used by women to transport water, food, and even to cradle babies. Carved from durable hardwoods, such as eucalyptus, coolamons have been an essential tool for thousands of years. Today, they serve as both functional and decorative objects, preserving the rich cultural heritage they represent.

The hand-painted designs, paired with the natural wood grain, make this coolamon not only a functional item but also an exceptional piece of original art, as perfect on a wall of shelf as it is on the table.
