Specifications
Immerse your classroom in the vibrant world of Indigenous art with this set of six animal pillows featuring artworks by Darug artist Leanne Watson and Muruwari artist John Boney. This diverse collection celebrates Australia’s unique fauna with representations of Fish, Koala, Platypus, Emu, Snake, and Turtle. Each pillow is designed to capture the essence of these animals while incorporating rich cultural elements and traditional design motifs. Measuring up to 45cm in length and thickly padded for superior comfort, these pillows are perfect for both seating and decorative purposes in a learning environment. The removable covers are crafted from a luxurious polyester velvet that is machine washable in cold water, ensuring that the colours and textures remain fresh after repeated use. In partnership with Muru Mittigar—a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to advancing Darug culture and empowering local Indigenous communities.
