This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Warlayirti Artists which states:
‘Boxer has painted a detailed depiction of the country in and around this important lake. The water level is shown quite low which allows us to see various waterholes, caves and islands. White sand is seen along the water line and areas of green grass can be seen growing on dry ground.’
