This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Papunya Tula Artists that states in part:

‘This painting depicts designs associated with Tilunga, a rockhole site east of the Kintore community. The roundel in this painting depicts the rockhole at the site. In ancestral times a large group of Tingari men came to this site from the east on their travels toward Wilkinkarra (Lake MacKay).’
