This painting is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Papunya Tula Artists that states in part: ‘An old Tingari Man of the Tjapaltjarri kinship subsection was camped at the claypan site of Kirrmalunya, near two large rocky hills, north of Wilkinkarra (Lake Mackay). He later travelled south to Lake Mackay where he was involved in ceremonied related to the site. Since events associated with the Tingari Cycle are of a secret nature no further detail was given.’
