• Notes:
  This painting is accompanied by a certificate from Papunya Tula Artists that states: ‘This painting depicts designs associated with Yunala, a rockhole and soakage water site situated among sandhills just to the west of the Kiwirrkura community in Western Australia. A group of ancestral women camped at Yunala after approaching the site from further west. At Yunala the women gathered the edible roots of the bush banana vine Marsdeniaaustralis, also known in Pintupi as yunala, before continuing their journey north-east to Wilkinkarra (Lake Mackay). The rows of parallel lines are the sandhills surrounding the rockhole at the site.’
