Catalogue text

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 Mukula, situated in open flat country, just to the southwest of the Jupiter Well in Western Australia. In mythological times a large group of Tingari Men camped at this site for some time instructing the young before travelling to Kulkuta, west of the Tjukurla Community.’
