This painting is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Warlayirti Artists, which states in part: 'The majority of the painting represents the tali, or sand dunes which dominate the landscape of the area. The circles depicted through the centre of the painting represent sources of water. The dot work between the tali depicts the kamatji, or bush tomato which is commonly found here.'
