• Notes:
  This work is accompanied by a certificate from Papunya Tula Artists that states: ‘This painting depicts designs associated with Karrinwarrra, a place with two rockholes surrounded by many hills, west of the Kiwirrkura community. Two cheeky snakes live at this place. A large group of senior women camped at this rockhole on their way to Marrapinti, where they made nose-bones which are worn through a hole in the nose web. These nose-bones were originally worn by both men and women but are now only worn by the older generation on ceremonial occasions. The women later travelled east passing through Wala Wala, Kiwirrkura and Ngaminya.’
