Yam Seed by Amy Napangardi (SOLD)

In the Dreamtime there are two parts to the Pencil Yam story that Amy paints. Two different seeds were borne that created two different species of pencil yam; one called Atnwelarr which belongs to Amy's country, and the other called Arlatyeye which belongs to Arnumarra country. 

Eileen paints the seeds of Atnwelarr.

The Atnwelarr itself is a long, skinny tubular yam (swollen root) belonging to a trailing herb or creeper that often covers large areas of ground with bright green leaves and yellow flowers.
