"This painting depicts designs associated with the Budgerigar Dreaming at the site of Tjunti to the north of Mt. Allan.
The brown oblong shapes are ceremonial objects and the roundel is the site.
The ceremonies associated with this site are for the instruction of initiated men and are therefore of a secret nature. This teaching extends for periods of a few years."
As stated on the Papunya Tula Artists certificate of authenticity.
