Fish Figure

The artist uses the fibre of the gumba tree. It is cut, soaked in water for a week and then spun into a twine called 'manji'. Formerly the weavings were supported by a rattan frame. Angelina has developed the use of gourds as a basis for her weavings, and it is the shape of them that dictates the animal that will emerge from her hand.

Woven fish figure. The fish has protruding lips, round face, upper and lower fins and a tail. Black dots are painted on the flat body. Attached to the back is a string for hanging.
