Notice that there is a black swan between the kangaroo and the emu on the coat of arms?

Water Fairey Emu Egg |
Inkwell with mounted emu egg and Aboriginal figures |
One of the most accomplished of these works is this c. 1870 silver and emu egg inkwell made by South Australian silversmith Julius Schomburgk
(born Germany 1812, arrived Australia 1850, died 1893)
for Adelaide jewellery and silversmithing firm JM Wendt.
It depicts in blackened silver a caped Aboriginal hunter standing astride a killed emu, a posture emulating European hunting imagery.
Kangaroo figures form part of the composition but their stiff rendering indicates a different hand, evidence of the collaborative nature of large silversmithing businesses employing workers of different skill levels.
These composite works reveal a great deal about the nature of
the craft as practised in Australia during the nineteenth century."

The Black Swan is also the state symbol of Western Australia ... or West Oz.
State flag of West Oz |
It received government recognition in 1870, when a gold disc featuring the swan on a blue Ensign was raised as the flag of Western Australia.
The black swan is also featured on the coat of arms of Western Australia."
Mila Kunis |
"Recently seen in lesbian action
with co-star Natalie Portman in Darren Aranofsky's unsettling 'Black
Swan', the stunning Mila Kunis has just signed up for director Sam
Raimi's new prequel to 'The Wizard of Oz'.
Cutie Mila (below) will star as the Wicked Witch of the West (Theodora) in 'Oz, The Great and Powerful'.
The prequel to L. Frank Baum's original novel 'Oz' will follow the Wizard's arrival in Oz and how he came to rule.
'127 Hours' James Franco is now officially also on board the project to play the almighty Wizard, probably swung by his previous work with director Sam Raimi on the 'Spiderman' trilogy.
