Ramingining artist Paddy Dhathangu was a senior figure and ceremonial custodian of the Wawaluk story. Represented here is Yurlungurr, the great Python of the Liagallawumirri mythology. A key figure in the Wawaluk story, Yurlungurr was responsible for the topographical formation of the ceremonial ground where all Wawaluk ceremonies are performed today.
