가나다123 44

가나다123 The islands of the Torres Strait were formed over a period of time as the land bridge between Australia and New Guinea was submerged an estimated 9000 years ago and the areas of high ground became the land masses. 가나다123  The life of the islanders is that of a marine culture where the giant dugong and the sea turtle became key motifs in their art. Carving on weapons and drums is a feature in their art and masks and dance rituals were a frequent cultural expression. Two of the treasures in this exhibition are a rare and unusual cassowary-feathered headdress from Saibai and elaborate dance machines by Ken Thaiday sr
