"The circles in this painting depict rockholes and soakage water sites at the claypan site of Watanuma, north-west of the Kintore Community. A group of women, represented by the 'U' shapes, camped at this site before travelling to the rockhole site of Malparingya and continuing east to Pinari, also north-west of Kintore. While at Watanuma they made spun hair-string for making hair-string skirts which are worn during ceremonies."
