Papunya Tula Artists, Northern Territory (accompanied by the certificate of authenticity)
Private collection, Darwin

"This painting depicts designs associated with the rockhole site of Yumarra, near Tjukula in Western Australia. The roundels show the camp sites of the women who had travelled from Punkilpim, a large permanent water site, north-west of Docker River in the Walter James Range. A snake was making sandhills as the women travelled through the area. The straight lines show the hair-string skirts the women made while at the site. They also gathered the edible berries and fruits growing in the area."

As stated on the Papunya Tula Artists certificate of authenticity.
