Cushion Cover - Totem Wilai Possum

• Aboriginal tribal and clan groups each have a totem.
• A totem is a natural object, plant or animal that is inherited by members of a clan or family as their emblem and the group is responsible for the stewardship of their totem. My totem is the Wedge Tail Eagle.
• Possum-skin cloaks were a form of clothing worn by Aboriginal people in the south-east of Australia.
• The cloaks were made from numerous possum pelts sewn together with Kangaroo sinew, and often decorated with significant incisions on the inside such as clan insignias.
• They were rubbed with ochre and fat to both decorate and protect them.
