This work is accompanied by a copy of the certificate of authenticity from Warmun Art Centre which states:

'Warloo Country is south of Warmun, near Five Mile where Mabel was born. This is Mabel's father's country. Glingennayn is the name of the Ngarranggarni (Dreaming) rainbow. In the Ngarranggarni the rainbow was a man. As he climbed this hill, Glingennayn heard a dog barking and turned his head round to see where the dog was. He is still there on that hill, looking for the dog.'
