This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Papunya Tula Artists that states in part: ‘This painting tells of the mythology associated with the site of Parayirrpilnya near lake Mackay. Many Tingari men travelled here from Western Australia. Kudaitchi men also came to this place but they travelled underground.’
