  This painting is sold with a copy of the Warlayirti Artists certificate that reads, "The painting tells of a Dreaming myth as it applies to this country. This concerns a woman who has a baby at her camp but who has been deserted by her husband. She travelled around and eventually she kills the baby. There are songs and dances that recreate these events and the artist is one of the custodians for these. Features in the land offer signs of these happenings."
