    About

    In the Dreamtime, there are two parts to the Pencil Yam dreaming. Two different kame (pencil yam seeds) were borne that created two different species of pencil yam. One is called Atnwelarr and the other called Arlatyeye. Atnwelarr belongs to Jedda's country, Alhalkere, and it is one of the most important stories for her people.

    Jedda uses dots to depict the kame while linear patterns in the background represent the yam system beneath the ground and designs painted over the top with a small applicator bottle represent the yam flower.
