Notes:This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Warlayirti Artists which states: 'This painting depicts some of Eubena's traditional country located in The Great Sandy Desert, south west of Balgo. This country is found along the middle stretches of the Canning Stock Route, around Well 35. The majority of the painting shows the talis, or sand dunes, which dominate the landscape of the area. In the centre is shown the waniri, or rockhole, of Kinyu, which is important for the dog dreaming Tjukurrpa (Dreaming). Eubena recalls collecting goanna and other game which would be left by the rockhole for the spirit dog. The area at the bottom right is the hilly and rocky country.'
