Hand-crafted 'Gunga' Earrings by Gurrpulan Guyula (8169-22) Museum of Contemporary Art from 30 July to 6Hand crafted earrings created by Gurrpulan Guyula from the Buku Larrgay Mulka Centre, Yirrkala (North East Arnhem Land). The jewellery pieces are woven from gunga (Pandanus spiralis). The spiky pandanus leaves are sometimes difficult to harvest, followed by the careful task of flaying the leaves before hanging them to dry. Only the few central leaves of the palm growing from the core which have not bent are used. These can be ten or twenty feet high
