Hi all,
I was wandering if anyone could help me out on the Aborigine raark painting symbolic of a painting I posses. Oh yes, you Aborigine can react to if you read this!! 
I am just curious what the tampon technique means on Eastern Arnhemland raark bark paintings.
The crosshatching in such paintings always stays within the figure lines and the background is done with a dark brown/white/red tampon technique. This background is always of the same colour and therefore should have a certain meaning. (Don’t you think?) 
Can anyone please help me out and explain what this means, does it has a symbolic means of not?
To see an example of such painting techniques you can click on the ling below. See the painting at the left bottom.

For a more detailed picture just click on the painting!
