These works are accompanied by certificates of authenticity from Papunya Tula Artists which each state in part: '[These paintings depict] designs associated with the rockhole and soakage water site of Lupul, south of the Kintore Community. A group of women, represented by the “U” shapes, gathered at Lupul to perform the dances and sing the songs associated with the area. The women also made spun hair-string with which to make nyimparra (hair-string skirts) worn during these ceremonies.'
