Magnetic Bookmark_MNM619 – Cultural Stories of Ancestral Journeys in a Functional Bookmark

The Magnetic Bookmark_MNM619 brings the rich cultural heritage of Aboriginal storytelling into your reading experience. The artwork on this bookmark is inspired by the journey of two dog ancestors, Jampijinpa and Napangardi, as they traveled from the west to the east. Along their path, they dug holes in the ground, creating warnirri (rockholes) and ngapa (waterholes), shaping the landscape around them. Eventually, the two dogs separated, and Jampijinpa, feeling lonely, howled for Napangardi. She ran to him from the south, and together they were reunited and married at Ngarnka.

This compelling story, reflected in the artwork, offers a glimpse into the spiritual and cultural connection between the land and its ancestral past. The Magnetic Bookmark_MNM619 embodies this journey, giving you not only a practical bookmark but also a piece of Aboriginal history and storytelling. The soft colors and flowing forms of the artwork reflect the natural beauty of the land that was shaped by these two ancestors, symbolizing both the physical and spiritual significance of their journey.

Made in Australia and part of the Better World Arts collection, this magnetic bookmark is designed with both function and beauty in mind. Its strong magnetic hold ensures that your pages are securely marked, while the bookmark itself remains slim and easy to use. It’s a practical addition to any reader’s collection, combining traditional storytelling with everyday utility.

Add the Magnetic Bookmark_MNM619 to your collection, and enjoy a functional, cultural, and artistic piece that celebrates the heritage and craftsmanship of Aboriginal art. This bookmark not only holds your place in a book but also connects you to the deep stories and traditions of the land.
