This painting is accompanied by a certificate from Papunya Tula Artists which states: 'The lines in this painting depict the sandhills in the area through which an old woman, Kutungka Napanangka, passed during her travels from the west. She travelled from Malparingya, north-west of the Kintore Community and visited the soakage water sites of Ngatanga and Yaranga which are all west of Mantati Outstation, which is approximately seventy kilometres west of the Kintore Community. She then travelled further east to Muruntji, southwest of Mt Liebig. At Muruntji she was accosted by one of a group of boys so she chased them and caught all but the culprit who managed to escape. She killed the others and cooked them in a fire. She then travelled to Kaltarra where she entered the earth.'
