Prints from the Blanasi Collection: Contact us to purchase this item. David Blanasi This is a shooting star spirit. These spirits are evil. They are known to take babies from mothers. They go for the heart. This one is male. He carries with him a stone axe, for making lightning or cutting a tree in half, and a business bag with powerful magic in it. This is what he uses on his victims. The large object on the left-hand side is a large fighting stick (miyawul). The loincloth that he is wearing is the same as people used to wear - it covers the front part of the body. It is called djorrkkon and is made from possum fur and string from the budbud tree. The large fingers of this spirit are for taking hearts out of the babies, and the long arms and legs allow him to move through the air faster. He also makes a sound like the thunder when flying through the air. This is a Yirritja painting.
