Large Coolamon

A Powerful Tool of Gathering and Ceremony

The large Coolamon holds deep cultural and practical significance in Aboriginal life. Traditionally, it supported gathering, preparing, and sharing. With its wide, curved shape and sturdy build, this vessel made it easier for families to carry generous amounts of bush tucker, seeds, and cooked meats to nourish their communities.

Carrying More Than Food

Although Coolamons often carried food, they also carried stories, teachings, and spirit. As women gathered together, they shared knowledge, prepared food, and soaked healing leaves. These vessels supported every part of daily and ceremonial life. At spiritual gatherings, large Coolamons held offerings and were used in sacred rituals—linking people to ancestors and Country.

Handcrafted With Strength and Intention

We do not just make Coolamons—we walk Country to find the right trees. Only those with a natural curve and strong heartwood are chosen. After selection, we carve and shape each piece by hand. As the timber transforms, the tree’s story begins to show through the grain. This process takes time, but it ensures every Coolamon is strong, lasting, and filled with purpose.

More Than a Decorative Piece

In your home, this large Coolamon becomes a centrepiece of meaning. It can cradle fruit, serve as a ceremonial bowl, or simply sit in a quiet space, grounding your home with its presence. Wherever you place it, the Coolamon reminds you to slow down, gather your thoughts, and care for those around you.

Please Note

Each Coolamon is completely unique. Because we honour the tree and the land it comes from, every grain, shape, and size will vary. No two are the same—just as no two stories are ever the same.
