This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Papunya Tula Artists which states: 'This painting depicts designs associated with the rockhole and soakage site of Marrapinti to the west of the Pollock Hills in Western Australia. A large group of women camped at the rockhole making nose-bones which are worn through a hole in the nose-web. These nose-bones were originally worn by both men and women but are now only worn by the older generation on ceremonial occaisions. The women later travelled east passing through Wala Wala, Kiwirrkura and Ngaminya gathering the edible berries known as kampurarrpa or desert raisin from the small shrub Solanum centrale.'
