• Notes:
  This painting is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Papunya Tula Artists that states: ‘This painting depicts designs associated with the rockhole site of Marrapinti, west of the Pollock Hills in Western Australia. The lines in this painting depict the sandhills surrounding this site. In mythological times a group of women of the Nangala and Napangati kinship subsections camped at this rockhole during their travels east. While at the site the women made nose-bones which are worn through a hole made 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. Upon completion of the ceremonies at Marrapinti the women continued their travels east passing through Wala Wala, Ngaminya and Wirrulnga before completing their journey upon arrival at Wilkinkarra (Lake Mackay).’
