Pikilyi Jukurrpa (Vaughan Springs Dreaming) tells of the\u003cbr\u003ehome of two rainbow serpents, ancestral heroes who lived together as\u003cbr\u003eman and wife. The woman ‘rainbow serpent’ was of the Napanangka\u003cbr\u003eskin group, the man was a Japangardi. This was a taboo relationship\u003cbr\u003econtrary to Warlpiri religious law. Women of the Napanangka and\u003cbr\u003eNapangardi subsection sat by the two serpents, picking lice off them. For\u003cbr\u003ethis service, the two serpents allowed the women to take water from the\u003cbr\u003esprings at Pikilyi. This was because the serpents were the ‘kirda’, or\u003cbr\u003eceremonial owners, for that country. The spirits of these two rainbow\u003cbr\u003eserpents are still at Pikilyi today. This Dreamings belongs to the women\u003cbr\u003eand men of the Japanangka\/Napanangka and Japangardi\/Napangardi\u003cbr\u003eskin groups.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warlukurlangu Artists","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54351068070177,"sku":"82\/26ny","price":3010.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2691\/2256\/files\/Screenshot2026-11-04at2.54.55pm.png?v=1793769928","url":"https:\/\/greenhouseinteriors.com.au\/products\/pikilyi-jukurrpa-vaughan-springs-dreaming-original-art-1","provider":"Greenhouse Interiors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
