Tjala Onesie

Tjala baby onsie design by Patricia Robinson of Tangentyere Aritsts.

Tjala is the Pintupi-Pitjantjatjara word for honey ant. Honey ants live in deep underground nests and it requires a lot of skill to collect them. You eat the ant by holding its body and popping the abdomen filled with honey-like syrup into your mouth.
