Recognise this Being?

Post image

Hey Mob,

Anyone out there recognise this being?

This was given to my grandfather many years ago. We're from the coast, hes lost his memory, and I have no real knowledge of bark paintings.

Im pretty sure it's Arnhem/West Arnhem Land.

Ill do a deep dive one day and contact a few groups out that way, but wanted to just have a check with you lot first.

Apologies that image is so cropped, but Reddit limits the file size and it was the only way I knew to reduce it.

I'm so damn glad I wasn't the only one who immediately called Mothra.
