  This painting is sold with a Warlayirti Artists certificate that reads, "The painting tells of a very important law woman who was travelling around these parts all alone in the Tjukurrpa or Dreamtime. She camped at these different places and has left signs here of significance to the initiated. She killed and ate a 'muntun' or non-poisonous snake and songs and dances tell of these events. The artist is one of the custodians of this law."
