This painting is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Papunya Tula Artists that states: ‘This painting depicts the travels of a large group of Tingari men from Tjukula, north to Pirmal and then east to the important ceremonial cave site of Mitukatjirri, south-east of the Kintore community. They then continued through Kintore and further north-west to Pinari.’
