"This painting depicts designs associated with the rockhole site of Lupul, south of the Kintore Community. The Peewee (small bird) Dreaming is associated with this site. The circles are rockholes and the lines in the painting represent spun hair-string which is used in the making of hair-belts which are worn during the ceremonies associated with the area."
