  This painting is accompanied by certificate of authenticity form Warlayirti Artists which states: 'Eubena has painted some of her traditional country, which is located in the Great Sandy Desert, far to the south west of Balgo. This country is known as Yuna Yuna, and is the country in which Eubena travelled and hunted in as a young woman. Yuna Yuna is the name of the tjurrnu or rockhole depicted as the large central circle and is a sacred tjurrnu, so nobody is allowed to drink from it. The other nearby circles represent smaller tjurrnu. The remainder of the painting like the country it depicts is dominated by tali or sandhills.'
