Akwa Postcards · Hobart, Australia
Shell necklace traditions of Tasmanian Aboriginal communities
Shells carry the memory of tides.
Strung together,
they become heritage worn close to the heart.
The story
Shell necklaces are sacred cultural heirlooms passed through generations; the practice has been maintained by Palawa women through colonial disruption and remains a living tradition.
