This painting is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Papunya Tula Artists, Alice Springs, which states in part: 'This painting depicts designs associated with the travels of the Kungka Kutjarra (Two Women) to a site on the south side of Lake MacDonald. The two women were digging for the small animal Kuningka (Western Quoll). These animals usually live in burrows which were dug by other animals such as the Burrowing Bettong or Rabbits. The lines in the work represent spun hair which is made into hair-string skirts worn by the women during the ceremonies associated with the site. The women later continued on their travels east.'
