Ntang (Edible Seeds) SP8229-Therese Ryder

Therese paints Ntang. Ntang is the word for seed in Therese's language. There are many different types of ntang in Central Australia but Therese paints one that comes from a tree that grows near where she lives. Therese says it is 'just a tree, like a corkwood.' These seeds grow inside pods of a bush bean and hang down on the stems of the tree's leaves.
