In Tiwi language, Jilamara means design. The designs are originally drawn from the body painting which accompanied the Pukumani (funeral) & Kulama (initiation/yam) ceremonies, clan totems & Tiwi creation stories. The Jilamara (design) is used for body painting to protect from Mapurtiti (spirits of the dead). The Tiwi palette of red, yellow, white & black is made from natural ochre pigments sourced from the land.
