The accompanying Warlayirti Artists certificate describes the imagery depicted as 'Eubena is one of the true desert people as she was born in the desert and wandered with her family as they lived the hunter gatherer life. She was told many stories and myths from the Tjukurrpa and in this painting she has shown her country with its hills and creeks.'
