• Notes:
  This painting is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Papunya Tula Artists that states: ‘This painting depicts body paint designs associated with a Water Dreaming at the Tingari site of Watanuma, north-west of the Kintore community. In ancestral times, two snakes travelled to this site from the east, only to find there was no water there. The lightning at the site wanted the snakes to leave the area so began spearing the ground. This caused the snakes to burrow deep into the ground which then created a large clay pan and soakages which remain today.
