This painting is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Papunya Tula Artists that states: ‘This painting depicts designs associated with the site of Kaakuratintja (Lake MacDonald) slightly west of Kintore. In mythological times a large group of Tingari Men, both young and old, travelled to this site from the west. As they approached a fierce hailstorm occurred which killed the entire group.’
