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

This painting depicts the swampy area known as Tjuntulpul, situated in sandhill country, east of the Kiwirrkura Community. In mythological times a large group of Tingari Men visited this site during their travels to Lake Mackay. Since events associated with the Tingari Cycle are of a secret nature, no further detail was given.
