Murru is a representation of the markings carved into trees and wooden items such as weapons by Wiradjuri people. This pattern has been inscribed onto a necklace shaped similarly to an Aboriginal breastplate or gorget, its original name. Merging brass and emu feathers the necklace is transformed giving it a new identity and cultural meaning.
