This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Warlayirti Artists which states:
'lnyaroo is the name of a large tjurrnu, or soakwater, found in Eubena's traditional country, far to the south west of Balgo, in The Great Sandy Desert. Some other, smaller, nearby soakwaters are also shown, including Pati and Nganyu. This is a men's place, where, during the Tjurkurrpa (Dreamtime) men camped and slept on their epic journey. Tali, or sand dunes, dominate the rest of the painting.'
