The Australian tribes paint on cave walls (as early as 25,000 years ago, recent research suggests), on wooden implements and on strips of eucalyptus bark. Their style has one very unusual characteristic; in depicting a living creature the artists like to include the unseen bones and organs within. If you are fascinated by the rituals and culture of the Aussie tribes then why not choosing one of these colorful and original products inspired by the masks of the Aussie culture?]]></media:description><media:thumbnail url="http://rlv.zcache.com/aussie_mask_apron-p154100109722399941td9j_125.jpg" /><media:content url="http://rlv.zcache.com/aussie_mask_apron-p154100109722399941td9j_500.jpg" /><media:keywords>art, artwork, asia, colorful, culture, ethnic, folklore, heritage, aussie, australia, polynesia, masks, mystical, original, pagan, spiritual, tradition, traditional, tribal, theater, australian mask</media:keywords><media:rating scheme="urn:mpaa">g</media:rating></item>
