Napoleon Oui is from the Tjapukai language group in Far North Queensland, Australia. The artefacts from this region are unique and include large broad shields, wooden swords and the cross boomerangs. The art typically found on the shields is also unique to the region featuring bold geometric design with styles varying between the groups. This striking art is very distinctive and unlike any other Indigenous art in Australia but is little known outside the region. These designs on these decorative shields are symbolic and tell different stories.
