Notes:This painting is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Papunya Tula Artists, Alice Springs, which states: ‘This painting depicts designs associated with the rockhole site of Marrapinti, situated in a creek, west of the Pollock Hills in Western Australia. A group of women of the Nangala and Napangati kinship subsections camped at this site during their travels further east. While at the site the women made the nose bones, also known as marrapinti, which are worn through a hole made in the nose web. These nose bones were originally used by both men and women but are now only inserted by the older generation on ceremonial occasions.’
