All these churinga are kept at sacred central stores, caves, or crevices. |
A man's churinga is not, to him, like the egg in which was the life of the giant in the fairy tale. |
We also knew that the return of a particularly significant churinga would exacerbate these troubles and probably lead to physical violence. |
Here we have the churinga ilkinia, or sacred rock-drawing, in red and white, of the honey ant totem in the Warramunga tribe. |
Meanwhile most churinga, and many of the disputed objects, have archaic markings, which also occur on rock faces. |
These churinga are of various sizes, down to a foot or less in length. |
