Explications sur cette céramique Aborigène :

Kampurara - bush tomatoes. Until recently, bush foods were the primary sustenance for Anangu Pitjantjatjara who spent long hours gathering them. Most foods, such as tjala/honey-ants, maku/witchetty grubs and kampurarpa/bush-tomatoes are gathered by women. Although many bush foods are still gathered regularly, they are not relied upon to the same extent. The art of gathering bush foods involves intricate knowledge systems into which women are inducted over the course of their lives. Many songs and dances relate to the gathering and maintaining supply of bush foods.
