&nbsp; TRIBUTE TO THE MIMI SPIRITS \u00a0 MiMi figures are small stick-like spirits.

Mimi spirits are not Creator Beings, but they taught the Ancestors of the present-day Gunwinggu tribe the art of painting. Mimi spirits can be enchanting creatures, but one must realise they can be malevolent as well as benevolent.
