Tayenebe
Made by the late Lennah Newson. Basket-making predates European contact in Tasmania. This revived tradition encourages people to connect with their cultural heritage. This item was gifted to RAMM by Lennah in exchange for the Truganini shell jewellery that was returned to Tasmania in 1997.
