Painting on bark

Description:


A bark painting of a kangaroo with what appears to be grass flower heads. A note on the back reads "A brown kangaroo in the long grass at the end of the wet season. This is Dick's totem." The background is brown, probably the colour of the bark, with white stripes. The kangaroo outline and the grass flower heads are drawn in white. The body of the kangaroo is decorated with stripes of white, light brown and red.
