In Australian mythology, the Wandjina are ancestral beings who came out of the sea. According to the Aborigines of the western Kimberleys region, these beings created features of the landscape and were then absorbed into the walls of rock formations.

Legends about the Wandjina say that they once caused a great flood that devastated the landscape and wiped out the human race. Disappointed with the corrupt behavior of humans, the Wandjina opened their mouths and released a torrent of water.

After the flood, the Wandjina spread out to different parts of the land. They created new humans and helped them set up a new society. To prevent further floods, the Wandjina kept their mouths closed. In time, their mouths disappeared completely.

Images of the Wandjina in human form appear in rock paintings in northwestern Australia. The figures have round faces, painted in white, with eyes and noses but no mouths.

Does their imprint show up as a warning, or are they guardian spirits?
(Thanks for the contemplation! :-*)

Hey, did you make that effect on the photo? That is very cool.

Looks very Rajasthani, except she is wearing white instead of red.
But then I guess she is a widow, except her blue trims possibly indicate she is from a wealthy family who are willing to bend the rules a little.
